What do you do to bump up humidity?

[Louie]

I use coconut husk and cypress mulch and humidity is at 40%. I do spray daily or so and it goes upto 50-60% for couple hours. Substrate is bit dried up. If I do wet them, it will dry up in couple days although I only use UTH (w thermostat 90F).

First of all what are kind of hygrometer are you using those dial things useless

[bandicoot4]

and also what kind of enclosure are you using

If you have a screen top, cover a bunch of it. I am honestly thinking about just buying a humidifier for that room. Glass tanks are horrible for holding humidity. I have one with a screen top (covered in tin foil) and also a screen vent under the sliding doors in the front and also ones on the sides on the upper part. It's totally not ideal for a BP. I have covered the top but the sides are next. I was having no problem holding it at 50% in the summer but it's getting cooler and drier here and I need a better solution too, Mine actually went down to 39% today, so not cool.

All my guys are consistently in tubs/cages at 40% or less humidity and I've had zero health issues: I only bump humidity up when I catch them going into shed (some misting every day up until they shed does the trick). 40% daily humidity is nothing to worry about IMO.

@shera so we meet again Hahaha

I never have a problem holding humidity with my tanks with screen tops. Maybe my house is naturally humid. But I just mist the tanks and put a towl over the screen covering most of it but leaving a little opening for fresh air to flow through and all my snakes shed perfectly every time. And I'm using aspen for bedding. But a good misting with a towel over top always works for me but if that doesn't work for you you could dampen the towel with some warm/hot water not too hot and put it over the tank as well to get it really humid.

I've had moderate success placing a moist towel over half the screen top of the glass tank. Make sure that you are not covering the entire top, however. I'm also using a CHE to maintain the correct ambient temps, however, and it may be hard to leverage this method without one.

Fortunately, this method is really easy to try out!

So I guess it's the towel method huh? Alot of people are suggesting that hmm. I was actuallt looking for more of a method that could last longer? Haha it sounds like I should change the towel every couple days or so. But then again moisturizer or fogger seem very expensive. ..
