For G Pulchra I keep half the substrate bone dry, and that is usually the side the T is at. Humidity is something that should not be chased for Ts, they get absolutely no effect from a humid enclosure, it can actually be bad for the T if you don't have enough ventilation. For now let the substrate dry out and only overflow the water dish when you can see it visibly dry. For future reference start with dry substrate, it's easier to add a little water than it is to take the water out.</blockquote>
