    I highly recommend that you get a zoo med hygrotherm HT-10 controller to take care of things.
    Zoo Med HygroTherm Humidity and Temperature Controller from Amazon US
    I don't know why but when I get a search on the Canadian Amazon they wanted $160 Canadian(way too expensive)

    I also highly recommend the zoom that retpi-fogger, even though people have had problems with it in the past I have had two of them for almost a full year with no problems other one had a bad fan and that was very easy to fix.

    you just have to use distilled water in them.

    So my recommendation is to take the lid and remove the screen. After long exposure to a high humidity environment I have heard of a lot of issues with the screen rusting. On my Zoo Med enclosures I have removed the screen and had a piece of glass cut and siliconed it to the top. The gaps around the doors and the vent below the doors will give all the ventilation that is needed. If you are still running low on humidity you could block the vent below the door partially or fully. I would not worry about ventilation you will get enough ventilation from around the doors. If you go with the fogger, I have 2 of the Zoo Med Repti-Foggers and they are great. I have had one for over 2 years and the other is about a year old.

    What Will said ! Bye, bye screens and replace with custom cut glass or polycarbonate sheets. The latter has the advantage of easier drilling and adapting a humidifier hose. Then check after couple days and if more humidity needed, partially to fully cover front vent (black electrical tape top works OK). Good luck and pics please !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
