Hey all, the setup is a standard exoterra glass terrarium, and is apparently a bit too high to be ideal for this kinda situation. It's one of the 36x18/2' ones.

I've got almost the whole screen top covered and I've added a second 100w ceramic heating element next to the first cause I wasn't happy about the speed at which the temperatures went back up after a spray.
As for a humid hide, I tried setting up hides around/partially covering the water bowl but she wants nothing to do with them, and just goes to other hides in other parts of the tank.
I originally had difficulty getting the humidity up at all, and since I've added an exoterra monsoon unit that goes about once every 6 hours for 25s or so, AND this exoterra fogger hooked up to an auto-shutting off hydrometer set to turn off at 65% humidity. I don't think it's increasing the humidity in the whole tank though.
I should note that this is in my living room, which is open and connected to the rest of my apartment, so raising the humidity in the room isn't an issue.
Somebody mentioned on my earlier thread a way to hack a walgreens humidifier so it can connect to tubes for a tank.
Anyway, clearly the humidity isn't high enough as the whole top of her head and eyecaps didn't come off.
