Introducing myself and a few questions

I have no idea how to adapt the mesh top for a solid top and still have the locking mechanism.....I am not at all DIY minded. I would have thought that in covering the mesh up with damp towels or plastic (or both) it would alleviate most of the humidity escape.

I have had many people tell me that a damp towel is a waste of time. HOWEVER, it is what I use for my Argentine as I have a mesh-like top and it works great!

i use a towel on top of my cages and it works fine. if you cant afford plexiglass for now its a cheap alternative for the meantime. becase of the size of my tank i will probably do it eventually just so more light gets in.
