question bout humidity

i was wondering if you could put one of those things for a fish tank, like the air bubble things inside your snakes water bowl to make it more humid, would it work ??

Yes, people have benn known to use air stones in their water dishes to up the humidity. You have to secure it or the snake will move it around, though.

hey i never knew that but would it hurt the bp if it was in the water bowl or wouldn't it like scare him or what ever? if not i am about to put it in because i am really tired of spraying every hour. the humidity drops just as fast as it rises. :mad:

An alternative is the Tropic Air humidifier, which you hook up to an aquarium-style air pump.

I've tried the Tropic-Aire and it works great. Just be sure to buy an air pump rated for a larger tank than what you have.

But with glass tanks and screen lids, by far the easiest solution is to cover with damp towels and/or duct tape (outside top of screen lid). Also I've heard using Bed-a-Beast substrate does wonders for humidity - plus you can feed on it and it looks natural.

we use a large water dish on top of the undertank heat pad..cover 3/4 to 1/2 the top of a 20g long tank with a glass cover(sometimes!) and Lucy has never had a bad shed...humidity seems to hover around 50% if you can believe the gauge.

could you put the towels in the tank or is that not a good idea??

I would put some money away for a tropicaire just follow the wise advice of TG - an air stone would probably be fine to use in the water bowl but I could also see it frightening the BP out of drinking (possibly).

I've not tried the towels inside the tank - the humidity goes up just fine on top of the screen top.

Have you tried a humid hide? It would be all you need - if your snake will use it. My bp won't, that's why I use the Tropic-Aire and the damp towel methods.

I also use the tropicaire and would recomend it to anyone. It cured my humidity probs right away.It actually got too humid....had to revamp my lid.
