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.

Perfect, thank you!

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!

Sounds good. I'm sure the humidity is worse for you during the winter months like it is for me. I'm in MA and having to run heaters really dries out the air, making humidity a pain. The colder it is outside, the worse it is for the humidity in my house so it dries out the snake enclosures too.
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.

Did it and its working great! Thank you!

Yes as much as possible with a pair of holes to let the air flow a little, something around 4" should be enough.

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

Haha, tomorrow will only be 2 weeks for me. I just do a lot of heavy research but only most of it was after I picked her up
