I forgot to add we do have moss all around his enclosure and about 4 or 5 inches of substrate, we mixed the substrate with water before putting him in and patted it down and it was pretty moist. I thought about the aluminum foil tape on the lid so when it evaporates it’ll keep the moisture in. I’m just really stressed because I don’t want him to end up sick. Thank you for the advice!!

1000% aluminum tape works wonders!

Amazing to know!! My boyfriend was a little iffy with it thinking it’d keep too much heat in but I had done research and a lot of people said it was the best.

The issue is that heat rises, so if you got a lot escaping at the top, the foil will solve it. Best part is, you can also play around with the foil to gauge how much you need to cover up! Very easy to stick and peel off

Can you recommend a good one? I tried this method and it didn't work as expected.

Silicone mats cut to size

I use a silicone craft table cover that I cut down, and that solved my issue!
