I don't keep sulcatas, so I can't really help. But there are some really good sulcata care sheets on this forum- maybe post in the Species Specific section under African/Sulcata?

A 6" sulcata should be living outside. There is no worry about humidity in an outdoor enclosure.

If you use a substrate that can be moistened, like orchid bark, coco coir or cypress mulch, you don't need to worry about humidity percentages. Just wet the substrate and forget it.
