In the wild, they experience contrasting wet and dry seasons and because of this, are not as sensitive to humidity levels as many other commonly kept amphibians.i usually keep it around 50 percent .The aquatic tank i use makes up for any humidity issues id have with them( keeps their skin healthy) and allows them to absorb water like crazy and discharge water as well .they also use the wet tank for dumping their stool they hardly go in the dry tank anymore so it stays cleaner .Mold will accumulate on feces and urine .The indoor water tank has no moss whatsoever in it so i feed them the occasional bullfrog tadpole in there .
50% is too low. Ambient air humidity should never go below 70% for extended periods. This can be detrimental to their health.
