Cover the enclosure. It's almost impossible to keep humidity up in an open top enclosure.

anyone got any ideas on keeping humidity in a table for a 18 month tort?

With an open top, you'll have to heat and humidify the entire room. This is why I don't recommend tortoise tables for anything but grown adult tortoises.

The problem with using a humid hide in an open enclosure is the tortoise doesn't spend all his time in it therefore the time that he isnt spending in there he's getting too cold risking a respiratory infection.
