having a hard time keeping my tegus humidity high enough

I'm having a hard time keeping my humidity high enough. Actually I've yet to get it high enough. The highest I can seem to get it is about 20%. He is in a twenty long with a 13 inch 5.0 uvb bulb with a red heat lamp. Its staying at about eighty degrees. Iv covered about half of the cage with aluminum foil to try to keep the humidity in. But still no success. Oh yeah he is on cypres mulch. Any ideas? The only time it goes up to 20 is when I mix up the substrate.

Instead of the foil on the top of the cage, you can try placing a moist towel on it to help with humidity as well.
