Good ways to keep humidity up

[Bay687]

hey everyone i live in arizona, and i was trying to get some ideas how to keep the humidity in my cage up... i have a misting systems that goes off at:
8:30 AM
11:30 AM
2:30 AM
5:30 AM
and 9 PM for 10 minutes at a time, i was thinking about 15 min but i dont think it ill make a difference cuz my water drys out with in 30 minutes from misting, so its usually dry in the cage unless i spray by water bottle which i do, but whats a good way to keep the humidity up and keep the water from evaporating off the leaves so quick?

Try covering some of the sides of the cage (2 or 3) with trashbags. This is what I do and it works great.

Some keepers use a humidifier.

I also really like foggers. I think the "fog" looks great in an enclosure.

More plants with the dirt kept moist will give you higher humidity.

Instead of trash bags....why not damp towels? Moisture evaporates from the towels to create more humidity.
Throw a few towels in the wash (without fabric softer). But instead of putting them in the dryer, hang them on the outside of your cage (also can be used as a visual barrier).....mist them down as needed and repeat the washing cycle every other day.
Air circulates better than if using plastic bags, since towels "breathe".

Take up the hobby of fish keeping I find having a tank in the same room (mine has hermit crabs with damp sand) has greatly increased the overall humidity in that room.
Consider NOT using an all screen cage. Or as suggested hanging a sheet, towel, plastic curtain on back and sides to correct for having all screen
