i cover 3/4 the top with a damp towel and cover that with foil, but it needs to be rehydrated every few days, and i still mist daily and that keeps it in the mid 60% range... it's definitely tough to get it right with a screen top, takes much more maintenance!
I only add the humidity hide when the snake is about to shed, then remove the moss so it can have a hide the rest of the time without the high humidity levels.
