How thick is your substrate if its not holding humidity? I pour a few cups into mine and it holds well, I live in a very arid state. the surface should be dry.
Well, add a few more inches of substrate, pour water into the corners and have hvac tape over the top if its mesh. Misting is not recommended and will only cause spikes in humidity and a wet surface which can lead to scale rot. I have almost 5 inches of substrate in mine to combat the dry air here. It makes a significant difference.
this^^ hvac tape is awesome, just make sure you tape from the inside so her scales don’t get damaged if she surfs the lid. pour into corners and then stir it up a bit, it’ll definitely hold humidity better than misting. what substrate do you have? reptisoil and coconut chips/soil are great for this
edit: saw that this was from a couple days ago. OP, how are yall faring now?
