Give us a run down of the enclosure, temps, type of lighting and heat using and everything you can think of that has to do with his care. That's the only way anyone can help us with the info.
A pic of the enclosure helps too

I have her in a outdoor enclosure and I bring her in at night.

I have a heat emitter in the indoor enclosure and she has good humidity and temps​

How old is she and does she have a water source she can swim in?
What exactly are the temps and humidity? A lot of new members say what you said, temps etc, are good but when we finally get the exact answer we need, they are actually not good.
The more details the better. We can only go by what you tell us. If you don't tell us much, we can't help much.
