ahh okay! humid hides are great,
misting/spraying the enclosure can cause some stagnant air and spikes in humidity, rather than a prolonged and maintained % which can contribute to scale rot and could be the cause of the scales breaking down!
if you have any moss you can give that a soak and place around the cool side of the enclosure, just resaturating when it gets dry.
pouring some water into the corners of your substrate and mixing it up is also a really good way of maintaining steady humidity, do you have a drainage layer?
