How to keep humid

[collinmcd]

Hey guys I've been working on a little second indoor enclosure for my 2.5" sulcata and everything seems to be coming together nicely except one thing. How to keep the humidity up. He does have a humid hide box in the corner but that isn't enough I'm guessing. Let me know what I can do!

Oh and I recently put in his food dish an haven't put any greens in it yet

Put a top on it. Cover about 3/4 of it. Is the substrate moist? Not dripping wet but keep damp. Also a a lot of us use small humidifiers.

What kind of Cover are you thinking of?

I use a plastic tote with lid for my inside enclosure. I cut holes for the lights and heat, put tin foil around the rim of the holes and place the Che and MVB over the holes. The tin foil prevents the plastic from melting. Others have used wood tops or plexiglass and cut out holes as I did in the plastic lid. Some also have just used a shower curtain and hung the lights, heat at the open end. Hope this helps the two of you out.

Here's what I did. - http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread-130-gal-Closed-Top-Tank-Progression-Thread#axzz1z1pKzbyp

Wellington's right. However you do it, that top needs to be closed/covered.
