Humidity Question

Ive been researching, and havent found it.. so my question. I have a 20L tank. im working on blacking it out, but i think thats more for heat. i have very dry air in my room. i have done several mists (nearly soaks) today. Once I mist it, it holds for a couple about 2 hours max at like 52% humidity and then drops and holds around 21%. This is a problem because of my job. I cant mist every two hours. I need some ideas. Im trying a Moist shop rag right now and it seems to do okay. If i put the water bowl on the UTH, wont that defeat the purpose of the UTH where the snake lays to keep warm?

Is it a screen lid?
Plexiglas the lid.

You can make a humidity hide.
Place a humidifier in your room.

Are you using a bulb for heat?
They can really dry the air out.

I may try the plexiglass. how would you suggest a humidity hide? and yes, i am using a bulb for heat. but switching to a emitter or whatever payday. i also use a UTH. And im adding a humidifier to the room as we speak. Just trying to do the best I can for my new little buddy

2 words...Sterilite Tub :)

Look for the press and seal ziplock stuff at the store. You can use that over the lid away from the bulb.

For the humidity hide. Pick up a cheap tuperwear container, cut out a hole big enough for him. Place some wet moss inside.

Good luck with him. It's already getting pretty dry here too.
