When I used a 20g tank I use to put a damp towel over the top of my screen and it would raise the humidity a good bit. Worked for me.

Put a digital hygrometer in there, and you'll know almost right away how much it affects humidity. If you aren't measuring it (I don't see one in your pics), then how do you even know a change is needed?

Gotcha. I don't even know if they have Walmart over there, but perhaps you can find an Acurite on Amazon.com or eBay?

It doesn't necessary need to be a "reptile" hygro/therm. Do you have any kind of home improvement store that sells indoor/outdoor thermometers? Lowe's over here used to carry them, but I'm not sure that they do any more. Some of those models are digital, with a built-in hygrometer, and a corded probe so you can measure your hot and cool side temps at the same time.
