    Ya that's way to low it has to be at 70-80% range. For the humidity I would do whole substrate change and like mentioned you want it to clump in your hand but not be dripping water, these guys absorb there water through there skin so the moist substrate is a must. If you use heat matts you can cover 2/3 of the top with saran wrap or tinfoil and this help a whole lot to keep the humidity and heat up, I personally use foil because I do use heat matts and helps with heat more the saran wrap IMO (my heat matts are placed on the sides). If your using bulbs for heat you can cover the whole top with foil put the dome down were you would want to place it and cut a circle out about 2/3 to an inch bigger then the dome, this way there is ventilation. You may want to buy a dimmer or something to hook the heat source up to though because with the top covered your heat is going to go up abit. And just mist a couple times a day. I think you should bring him to a vet to get him checked out but in the mean time if he is opening his eyes in the bath and seems abit more energetic you can buy some pedialyte and make him a warm bath with this in it to help restore some of his energy. The mixture should be 1oz of the pedialyte to 10ozs of water. If it is a severe case of dehydration fixing the humidity and a soak in this should help abit. I do recommend a vet trip even if it does work abit because he really doesn't look good and im afraid there could be something else wrong with him.
