I have your same problem because I also have a open tank enclosure. There isn't many ways to boost the humidity if you have an open top tank. One thing is to have a substrate in the tank that is very absorbent, and lots of it. You could install a misting meconium, but sorta pricy and the water soaks through the wood bottom. I think the best option would be to install a fogger. Works great for me, and it doesn't make puddles in your tank. I suggest the zoo med repti fogger or the betazooer reptile humidifier off of amazon.

So far I have installed a hygrometer and maintain the humidity above 80% by just spraying water. But I might need to install a fogger later on in case Im out of the house. Thanks for the advice.

Mine basks, many don't... If the temps and humidity are in the 80s and you're feeding a varied diet, things should be good.
