It should not, if its Exo Terra or Zoo Med then the top mesh will be ok. The tanks are designed to withstand the high humidity and contact with water. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think the mesh is aluminum.

Re: Quick humidity question
I did put the wet towel on top, covering most of the screen, but leaving some mesh open for ventilation. However, it's still around 50%! I believe this is happening because of the light, but I need it for the live plant in my cage.
Re: Quick humidity question
What kind of light are you running? I am using a Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 CFL UVB light, it is only 13 watt. It pushes off very little heat since its CFL. I really like them, that is what I am running for my RETF and my WTF enclosure. The plants really seem to like them as well.
Re: Quick humidity question
You have done a lot that should have increased the humidity.
You might consider purchasing a new hygrometer?

Re: Quick humidity question
My light is the Repti Glo 2.0 13 watt.
Exo Terra : Repti Glo Compact 2.0, 5.0 & 10.0 / Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
I will get a digital thermometer/hygrometer.
Re: Quick humidity question
Yeah the digitals make a big diff. My old dial style was about 10% off when sitting right next to my digital. I have the Exo terra one that I use in my RETF enclosure and the humidity is a little higher. I have a Flukers one that I use in my WTF enclosure. I actually really like that one cause it does temp and humidity. Amazon.com: Fluker's Digital Thermometer/Hygrometer: Pet Supplies
