But leave some holes in it for ventilation. If you can do away with the heat lamp, I would. Just make sure the hot side of the tank is around 92 and the cool side is around 80. And what are you using for substrate? Cypress mulch is good at holding humidity as is a few others.
No we're not using an UTH, we have the 150 watt Infared and a smaller 50 watt in case we need it. I do have a small hand towel covering about 1/3 of the enclosure and it helps but not by much. The warm side of her tank is around 90 and the cool side is 79 with an area of about 82. She switches sides pretty frequently.

Right now her preferred side is the cooler one which has a climbing log on it, she loves to sit up there and relax. And we are using Aspen as our substrate which doesn't seem to hold much humidity. Are heat lamps not a preferred heating method? I thought they were pretty popular and effective.
