So heres a few pics of the first viv I did nothing great just simple since Im new to this. I dont have everything in there just the soil and plants at the moment. Also I would really appreciate if someone could give me some good ideas of how to raise the humidty higher.

looks like you've gpt a solid glass lid on there so as long as your soil is damp your gonna naturaly have high hummidity.

do you have a false bottom or drainage layer? keeping a bit of extra water in either will help with humidity.

Well I got something to measure the humidty and its about at 85% so I figured thats pretty good. Yea I put a a decent layer of aquarium gravel on the bottom to help drain.

A cover and misting is usualluy all that is need for adequate humidity.
