You can do half the top if you feel safer, I prefer tin foil to saran wrap. The bedding could be a little thinner but I don't think its too bad.
You'd still be better of getting an acurite indoor/outdoor thermometer from Walmart for the temps and humidity, it gets the surface temps of the hot side and also the ambient of the cool side.
