This is how I have mine set up like I said I use lexan on the top of the screen and leave left and angled and the middle open sometimes or closed 40 gallon breeder.
I soak a large wet towel (just soaked enough that it doesn't drip) and fold it over the entire screen top, and then cover the towel with foil to seal down the sides. That spikes the humidity WAY up. It lasts a few days. Just need to change it out every few days so that it doesn't develop bacteria.
I've been doing this since last June or something, but I've actually had zero issues with the screen top rusting like other people thought it would. It looks just the same as before.

Re: Raising humidity?
Here in MI it is horrible in the colder weather. I just covered the cardboard in foil and covered almost all of the screen, plus put a wet sponge in a dish in there. I'm always happy to see you reply because I know I'll get good advice. It helped a ton! Thank you!

You'll definitely notice a difference when you can switch your substrate back too. maybe because she's on paper towels throw a few, or a bigger sponge in there in a dish. The dish will help keep it from being absorbed into the paper towel and drying out too quickly.

Yay for us new snake owners! I love to hear other people's opinions/experiences.
