Make the tinfoil fit up to the edge of the lid then use the tape to secure it at the edges to the lid the put the rest of the tape on if you want - it's not vital but it definately makes it look better.:)
And no definately keep him on the newspaper just now - and if you do make a humid hide do it by using damp paper towels that you change frequently to prevent bacterial build up. Keeping him in clean conditions is quite important till he's better.
Oh and Bright - I'm not slackin I'm sleepin.:P It's 3.45 am over here and I'm fading fast. :sleep:

Sorry Derek!! :)
I covered my tank with foil but put the tape on the outside as well.
Since you are having to use newspaper, I would go with Derek's suggestion of creating a humid hide. I believe all you have to do is get a tupperware type container, cut a hole in the side big enough for your BP to enter it, and put either some damp moss or some damp paper towels in there. That way if your BP needs some extra humidity, it can go in there whenever it wants to. And like Derek said this should be a separate hide, don't remove the ones that you already have in there.
I have heard someone also suggest in a different thread to get some moss (I am sorry, I am not sure what type of moss it was that was suggested for use) and lay it around the enclosure, especially near the hides. The moss you want to keep damp, to help create some extra humidity, but you would want to change it on occasion to prevent bacteria buildup.
Just a couple more suggestions for you to consider. :)
