Get rid of the lamps & keep a damp/wet towel on top of the screen to boost your humidity. You may have to wet the towel every other day or so but it works allot better than spraying. Just cover part of the screen. The more humidty you want the wetter you keep the towel and the more of the screen you can cover. I keep it real wet almost dripping when mine are in shed.
I'm not a fan of the wet towel. The towel will smell after being damp the entire day. Perfect mold condo.

If you have the money, something that works really well for me is a Herpstat Humidity hooked up to a Repti-fogger on the lowest the dial will go. I too have a sceen top for one of my guys, and I used 3 layers of aluminum foil, and foil tape to cover all of the top with the exception of where the repti-fogger is, and another small vent for air flow. I have 3 digital combo Therm/Hygo meters, and the humidity stays at 55% until he is in shed, and I bump it. This is a bit expensive, but very low maintenence. Hope this helps.

I have been using the same towel for 6 months now & I have not had a mold or smell issue at all. Remember depending on your ambient humidity in the room the towel is going to dry out. Mold does not have enough time to grow. It's like leaving wet clothes out to dry. If your ambient temps are too low and you need to bring them up & your UTH is not enough you can use the lamp/s with the towel. I find it works great.
