Mat I offfer a more natural version of one:
An exo terra reptile cave (quite enclosed, resin)
Place in warm end, near lamp (not directly under)
Over deeper substrate (I like a mixture of top soil & coir)
Keep this area more humid. The lamp warms, the humid substrate & the cave traps it, therefore creating a "humid hide".

My hatchlings emerge with dew on their shells, which stay lovely and smooth & no, none have developed any respiratory problems.

(i also water my natural and fake plants which trap humidity the same way... If only the neighbours saw, me!! )
