    Another humidity question.

    First off I would have used the search function and didnt find the info I need. Currently tryin to stabalize my new enclosure before i get my new BP

    http://www.tradingpie.com/image/products/09/96696.gif

    Very similar to the one in the picture except mine has plastic mesh side vents half the height tall on the top half. (Currently sealed using tinfoil.) Tank is Measuring 39W 19L 19H inches.
    Using fir bark as a substrate, high side temp 94F low side 82. A very large water dish on the hot side, A tuperware container /w a hole cut in the lid filled with real damp sphagnum moss. And 3/4 of the top mesh covered with a damp towel. And even with heavy misting a couple times a day i can only keep the humidity about 45%. Using digital thermometers and hydrometer for my readings. Ive read its best to get 50-60% normally, but im concerned when it would come time to shed I will be unable to achieve the recommended 70-80%
    Btw, I live in Southern Alberta, so humidity is quite low this time of year.
    To the point, two questions.
    1. Can i completely seal off the top screen and open up the side vents a little to
    achieve higher humidity without sacrificing airflow.
    2. Or is there a simpler way of raising it that im not thinking of?
