I have an air pump putting air through an air stone in a mason jar. This is helping with humidity and oxygen but not much. I also have a humidifier putting some amount of humid air into the chamber from a whole in the bottom. I'm not too familiar with humidifiers but this one seems to not be working too well. I bought it second hand for $4. I guess you get what you pay for.

Will the addition of perlite help or should I just go buy a $50 terrarium humidifier?

Get a new bin

Drill 1 inch holes on each side

stuff with polyfill

Use a fan that has indirect air flow on the box.

and mist the sides of the terrarium

You need an ultrasonic humidifier. You got one that works by using a fan and a sponge.

I had a terrarium at 90-95% humidity, and using an ultrasonic humidifier I actually had to filter the humidity input because it was sending too much water in to the box. You can make a simple filter to reduce the water/air ratio by just piping it through a glass jar first, where some of the water will collect.
