Sponge to help humidity? Good or Bad?

Sponges can be totally sterilized. Pop em in the microwave damp for 30 seconds and it sterlizes them. Google it lol it works

I am thinking of just soaking a sponge with water and setting it in there to help with the humidity. Is this a good idea?

Do you have any of the screen lid covered? You can cover 3/4 of the lid with aluminum foil, plexiglass, etc., to help hold in humidity, and additionally use the sponge idea or a humid hide.
