Can you add plants? My enclosure is outside, so I am not sure regarding inside. When mine is out of her burrow, she loves to hang under a shrub. Anywhere to hide...

You can sprinkle seeds like violas, chia, mesclun lettuce inside. And/or you can place plants like Spider plan, Pothos, Christmas cactus in the enclosure. It seems to work better if the plants are in a pot, submerged in the substrate.

A Hide, with some peat-moss stuffed inside.
You can also plant edible items and it will keep up the humidity easier and faster
