You can try raising the humidity a bit by giving the viv a bit of an extra misting, or move the water bowl closer to the heat source.

As Matt said buddy! I just spray mine a couple of time a day when they're in 'blue'. Always does the trick! Also make sure there's something rough in there for him to rub on, cork bark, rough stone, etc.

how about a rough piece of wood. or even a stone. If you collect the wood, freeze or bake it in oven for bout 20mins before use. Herp stores sell shedding stones and bark though, not too expensive.
