How can I increase the humidity in my red foot's tank?

Posted by Mallorie on January 11, 2002 at 02:12:55:

As soon as winter hit, her humidity level dropped from 75% to 30%, and her eyes are watering up. I need to know a way to increase it and make her more comfortable this winter...(it's usually humid as heck down here in the spring-mid fall)

I started out with this bed a beast substrate, but after three days it started growing mold all over it even though I cleaned out her feces daily. Now I'm using this dry coconut bark stuff, and it's working better, but doesn't retain moisture for humidity well. Please help me with this, I've tried everything from keeping a bowl of water under the heating lamp to get hot and evaporate, to misting her repeatidly (although she seemed to enjoy it alot, it didn't work).
