My indoor enclosure is made out of wood but it has an open top. And I've decided to close it in to hold more humidity. Can y'all show me pictures and give me some ideas! Anything will help! Thanks

You could look at greenhouse/cold frame style enclosures too...here's an older photo of my enclosure (I'm still using it for my Leopards but I've changed out some of the lighting). It is never below 90% humidity and is very low maintenance. All plastic so no issues with mold or wood rot either.IMG_3560.JPG

This isn't the prettiest thing in the house, but it serves the purpose and the babies seem to thrive:

Baby box turtles live in there.

In this one I have some newly hatched leopard tortoise babies:

Something this small probably wouldn't work for a baby sulcata, but you can buy the Christmas Tree Storage bin made by Iris. It's about 4' long and looks like this:
