How to keep humidity?

[ShellyTheTortoise71]

Hi. My tortoise lives in an open top kiddie pool. It is 8 feet by 5 feet. She is in my basement. But since it is so large and open, it's always very dry in there. It is usually 50% humidity . It know, I know, that's really low. I mist it frequently and I use a moisture loving substrate. I feel like the cage is to large to cover. On my smaller hatchling cage, I can cover it with Saran Wrap, but not with my adults cage. Do you guys have any tips for keeping in humidity or creating covers?

Build a green house over it. Covering it or enclosing it is the only way th keep humidity up and heat in.

Maybe a shower curtain?

clear plastic sheeting drop cloth. look it up on Amazon or look at Lowe's or Home Depot. You buy it in huge rolls, like 10 feet wide by 25 feet wide.
