How do members using open top tortoise tables keep humidity up? I started with an open top enclosure but had to cover it almost completely due to humidity issues. With the top off my humidity used to drop to 30-40% on cool side and down to 15% under basking spot.
I wish a closed enclosure wasn't necessary since it makes some things more difficult:
1. Cleaning the enclosure.
2. Creating a proper temperature gradiant (hard to get the temps low enough on cool end)
3. Lighting issues: the height of lights is restricted by the plexiglass cover.
