A better way to keep in the humidity is a sheet of plastic over most of the screen. I don't know how big your viv is, but what I've done for plastic is to buy a stupid-cheap (<$13 for the 24 x 36 size) poster frame at WalMart and use the big, clear, plastic sheet out of that. It works much better for humidity retention than a damp towel.

My fix for the humidity was to use 1/32" or 1/32" silicon rubber sheeting and cut to fit. You can also cut out circular shapes for your lamps and use them directly on the silicone since it take constant heat in the 150C/300F range with no issues.

My solution was parchment paper, like you would use for baking.
