Default 29 Gallon Viv with humidity problems! Help!

Hello everyone,

Ok as the title says I have a 29 Gal. Viv it is setup as follows:

False bottom: The false bottom has about 2 inchs of hydroton except in the middle which has a water pond. The hydroton is covered with eggcrate/mesh and on top of the mesh I have another 2inchs of FoxFarm Happy Frog soil.

Background:
Cork bark.

Lighting:
I have a dual florescent which gos the length of the cage and a small incandescent which sits over the pond in the middle.

Heat: 150watt heat bulb which also sits over the pond in the middle.

Misting system: Rainmaker which sprays for a minute every 6 hours.
I also have a towel over the top of the cage to trap the heat and moisture.

Normal cage temp 75-85 degrees. Normal humidity 30%-40%.
How do I raise the humidity? This is making me schizo! lol

Thanks,
Jerry
