    The Repti Fogger is a good option for humidity control if you are going to use a fogger. Save the money you'd spend on one though and buy a Hydrofarm thermostat instead. If you can afford a Repti Fogger, you can afford a Hydrofarm. ;)

    It's the thermostat to control your ZooMed heater that you said you couldn't afford in your other thread.

    Absolutely 100%. Having a thermostat is critical - having a fogger is not.

    What about the option of a humidifier for the entire room your snakes are in? 50% is easily attainable with a humidifier and still comfortable for living (IMO). Then you could still mist during a shed cycle to get the extra humidity that's needed during this time. They're pretty cheap at WalMart, Target, Walgreens, etc...

    Here's a thread on the topic of foggers for BPs: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ghlight=fogger

    Here's a pretty decent video for a DIY fogger if you do choose to go that route: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr8-S3JkafQ

    Hope this helps!

    having too much humidity will also cause problems with your ball pythons.

    The cheapest method would be to cover up your screen with seran wrap. Brought my humidity from 30% to 65%.
    I have my screen covered about 40%

    This is assuming you are using a tank.
