IMO loose the heat lamp, cover the screen most of the way with any type of plastic to close off the cage top, Only leave a half inch or so open for ventilation. Really, they don't need lots of "fresh" air. Watch you temps, closing the top will increase heat t=retention as well although you';re removi ng a heat source so temps may well go down. One other thing you can do to help stabilize the tank is to cover three sides (outside the tank) with insulation. I like the reflectix brand, looks like foil covered bubble wrap.
If you get ambients in the mid to upper 70's, then won't matter where the humid hide is.
Did I mention I really don't like glass fish tanks for keeping BRB's
