I have the Idolos in a ZooMed terrarium and I am having a hek of a time keeping humidity up in there with a 60 watt bulb on it. I spray the cr*p out of it and an hour later we're back to 30%. Substrate is coco bark. Suggestions?
Been a while since I had ZooMeds going, but I think you can just put a piece of glass on top to partially cover the screen, to keep the humidity in. Don't use anything that might melt or catch fire (assuming you're using heat lamps above to warm it).

If you don't want to kill your air flow, you can buy or make one of those "Big Drippers", or just soak a CLEAN sponge in water and toss it in there each night.

 
I have sponge as a subsrate in my enclosures. It holds moister very well and easy to clean. And it's a nice cushion in case of a fall during molt. haven't had that happen so far so im not sure how well it works in that compacity. Got the idea from your "sponge world" thread. Thanks for that one Sporeworld.
