    Hows the mold on the underside of the tape ?
    With % levels like that we had a problem with it.
    For those in dry areas,ya`ll need to look into one of those Repti-Flo 250 pumps. ($12 PetsMart)They work wonders in glass set ups over 20 gal.

    I keep 65% and bump to 70-75% in shed and so far ( fingers crossed ) no shed problems.

    No mold at all on the back side of the tape. Never any kind of condensation any where in the tank.
    You could tape inside and outside that should cure the mold issue.

    Thanks for all the excellent advice. I will do the double sided duct tape on the screen top.

    Excellent! :D

    You'll still want to boost it a bit for sheds, but you can do that pretty easily by spraying a couple of times a day or adding a clean moistened sponge to the warm hide or similar tricks, but that's just for a few days a month at first, right after his eyes go blue, and will space farther apart as he gets older.
