I actually find that my heat lamps dry out the substrate fairly quickly in some cases. Do you use a heat lamp? That might help balance it out.

I went ahead and got a hygrotherm for my tank (it turns heat lamps and the repti-fogger on and off as needed to maintain the heat and humidity you set). Being a night-shift worker and unable to mist during the day when I'm sleeping, this has been a godsend. Do NOT buy it from a petstore! YOu can get it on Amazon for about $40 cheaper!
Hi dpcsquid,

I really appreciate your reply!

I've read some mixed reviews on Amazon pertaining to the Repti Fogger and was reluctant about getting it. I know using distilled water will help prolong the life of it. I've used ultrasonic foggers (like the Exo Terra ones) in a FBT setup years ago and it worked great until the transducer disc wore out. The good thing was the disc was easily replaceable. I'm not sure if they are replaceable with the Repti Fogger.

I did buy a cheapo timer for the fogger because I don't want it running 24x7. I plan on getting a hygrotherm next week from Amazon to help regulate temps and humidity. I did see that it is MUCH cheaper at Amazon compared to PetSmart. I think Amazon has it for about $65 vs $99.99 at PetSmart.

I do have a heat lamp, a 25w Night Glo nighttime bulb that I leave on all the time, but it does little to dry out the substrate once it became saturated.

Thanks for your reply!
