    Or buy a screen top! :P They aren't expensive from what I re-call ...

    Making one for a glass tank is tricky, you have to make it tight enough so there isn't gaps for the BP to escape from.

    You can buy a 94 quart (If I'm not wrong) for around 8-10 dollars.
    Walmart ...

    You'd be amazed how well they hold humidity.

    When I used a glass tank holding humidity was so hard.

    The rubbermaid/sterilite holes humidity at around 55.
    I only mist when my snakes in shed.

    yeah you can probably get the rubbermaid for the same or less than what you would spend on the screen top, depending on what size tank you have.
