I've used this stuff for years and it gets as dry as anything else does if you leave it in the sun for a couple hours. It's a great substrate because it holds as much humidity as you want it to. If you mist it a little then it's only a little humid, and so on... But it can be as dry as bone if you don't mist it, and I used it for some of my leos, beardies, and desert iguanas with great success for some time.
I'm not arguing with you, I'm just saying that keeping them on this is not synonymous with keeping them on humidity.
