Humidity in an open Tortoise Table

[TheWarTortoise]

Hey everyone!

Any suggestions on how to keep humidity up in an open tortoise table? Note that I'm on a fairly tight budget, and will be switching substrates to Cypress Mulch on Friday, which I've heard holds humidity nicely.

Thanks

I would get on Craigslist under the "free" section maybe you can find something, I've been told to always cover it up. Just an idea

This is what I have done. It works reasonably well in a warm room.

It is basicly just a greenhouse cover.
This is maybe a better pic.

Jodie's pic are probably the best example. You can even use shower curtain liners if they work out cheaper for you

Yep, I do what is mentioned above. Covering with plastic or using portable greenhouses.

You could heat and humidify the entire room. That's the only way it will work in an open table.
