It is very nice set up you got there, what type of plants do you use, do you mix up fake with real?

Here's my tank.



I've got aloe vera, echeveria, spider plant, and bromeliad. He's got a "hobbit hole" on the left side (a flower pot covered in moss), the middle is a bend a bridge that he uses as a tunnel...he enjoys going in and out of that...and a rock hide on the right. A small hole for him to go into, and he loooooves climbing on top. He loves his enclosure...digging in the moss is a favorite activity too.

Also, you should switch your waterdish to a clay saucer. The ramp ones are drowning hazards.

Also, is your lamp on a clamp? Can't quite tell in your pictures.

What substrate are you using? That plays a big role in humidity.

Cover the top to hold the heat and humidity in . Get that lamp out of there the humidity can cause a shock hazard . Most of us try to mount are lights on something or to something them clamp on fixtures fail and can cause a fire hazard . Here is a picture of my tank see if you can mount your lighting like this or like in tge other pictures posted by tge others before me .
