humidity issues.

I am about to build a 3'x 10 outdoor enclosure for a RF that im about to adopt, i have my 4 month old leopard in a table inside so measuring and correcting things is alot easier.
I'm wondering how do i regulate heat and humidity in a outdoor enclouser, it will have both sun and shade in this, i live in austin texas, so it gets fairly warm outside so i kinda know how thats gonna be, but the humidity area im still wondering about, if there is any suggestions please let me know.

Try planting a lot of plants and seeds for shade, food, and the watering helps with moisture. Try adding a misting system to your enclosure that will mist a couple of times a day. I live in the dry AZ desert and I spray my boxies enclosure w/ a hose 2-3 times a day depending on the humidity gauge. They have tons of plants in there enclosure, but this weekend I am going to add a sunshade to half of the enclosure (which should help with humidity). Also try building your pen so it only gets the morning sun.
