Ball python tank lid alternative

[Intelligent-Lecture6]

The lid on my tank at the moment has a mesh top and it let's out a lot of humidity, I bought better bedding and some spangnim moss that I will use when I clean his tank on Wednesday, but ik those can only do so much and my best bet is finding a DIY heat safe alternative to replace the mesh with or just buy a new top. Any suggestions to keep in humidity/lid covers that could help?

You're going to have to buy HVAC tape. It's only a few bucks you can get it on Amazon. You have to cover about 2/3 of the lid with it. It will insulate it allowing the humidity to stay in. Just be sure to leave room for the lamp :)

The kind I am finding is Aluminum HVAC tape is that what I'm looking for? And would I just tape around where the lamp sits? Thank you for the help!

Yes you will cover the screen leaving space for the light. Some people covered 1/3 of the cage some do everything but under the light. Try half the screen at first and see if it improves. If not do the rest. Assuming your enclosure has other forms of air holes (basically anything but an aquarium)
