    how does everyone keep humidity in their tank/eclosure/tub?

    I've seen several methods from wet/damp towels to sponges are these methods safe?

    In my opinion wet towels or sponges could lead to mold. To keep humidity in the enclosure, you should cover the top of the enclosure accordingly. You could cover more or less to control the humidity. You can also put a water bowl on top of the heat spot to raise humidity. Cypress mulch as bedding is another option. This is probably the best bedding to raise humidity.

    Hope this helps.
