I have no idea. Just spray them more regularly or use a wet soil inside the enclosure.

good luck and regards

Your female (2nd pic) does not look like a subadult, maybe 2 molts away from adult.

will it still work out?

Sure, just keep feeding them and keep it hot. I would separate the male now, and keep the extra heat on female.
