What is a good why to raise the humidity for lock down?

Maybe a wet sponge or washcloth in water or something similar.

You increase the humidity by increasing the surface area of the water. For example, if you have a water container in the incubator that is 3" by 3", that is 9 square inches of surface area. If you exchange that container for one that is 4" by 4", the surface area becomes 16 square inches. Or you can simply add another water container, or you can stand a sponge on its edge in the container. Any way that increases the surface area of the water increases evaporation, which is the source of humidity.

try a wash cloth wet it in warm water and roll it up works great.
