    Air pumps

    I know moving air produces more humidity then non moving air. Since I can't afford a humidifier I am thinking of getting one of those small Aquarium air pumps with clear tubing and running it into a bowl of water to create bubbles and eventually get a small waterfall for a corner.
    Would the air pump serve the purpose of increasing humidity?

    Hope y'all don't mind the questions I have lots of them.

    I think some waterwalls are okay but there are a few things you need to think about. Can the ball python get stuck anywhere in the pump or display of it? Also will it be easy to clean and sanitize and not build up bacteria as your snake will most likely use it as a bathroom. Other than that if you can cover those basis, I'd just make sure it's not too, too deep.

    this is likely a better option. They don't work super well but they do help a bit. It is a simple design you can build your own.

    You can also just use a humid hide as well.

    waterfalls as pointed out can be problematic.
