You want a closed chamber enclosure. Here is the best info available.

Welcome, there is a lot to know, so keep asking questions. Housing is one of the choices that has many options. The main target between a open and closed chamber is the humidity level. you want it higher to minimize pyramiding. I live by Houston where it is normally 70% humidity, so it is easy to keep it high without a truly closed enclosure. Somewhere dry will be more difficult to keep it humid. Temperature is also important, shooting for at least 80 degrees average, higher under a basking light, but usually no lower than 70 degrees for babies.
