    Tall Boa Enclosure climbing and humidity

    Hi,
    Just wanted to post a few pictures of my red tail boa in her new setup. She stayed on the ground at first but now she's up in the branches.

    Humidity inside the enclosure stays around 55 so I turn the fogger on every few hours until it hits 65. It rains a lot here so hopefully that will help maintain humidity with the additional height.

    I will be adding another 2 feet to the enclosure in the next few months so she will have 6 x 2 ground space.

    You could put the fogger on a analog timer so it fogs periodically during the day.

    Or,

    Get this. I used one with a fogger in the past and it worked well. I never controlled a heat source with it that I remember.

    There are also other devices and tstats that can control humidity as well. Herpstats for example, from the 2 and above I believe.

    Awesome thanks! I have a timer but it's in my beardie's enclosure, I was thinking about getting a second one for the humidifier but that combo temp/humidity looks like a better idea.

    Found another that's cheaper and does just what you need. I have no experience with it though.

    Thanks! I'll have to do some research on the cheaper one.

    The logs came with the enclosure. They're bolted in place and to each other to make sure she doesn't pull them down lol
