I could see possibley just moving the water bowl over the UTH during shed to help with the process, but does having the water bowl on the UTH really boost humidity, or just make the water warm?

Or you could just mist the tank a couple times a day. You could put the water bowl over part of the UTH but I wouldn't have the whole water bowl over the UTH.
