Humidity and water bowl placement

I have read that placing the water on the hot side of the emxlosure. Is this correct and wouldn’t the water get too warm.

I change my water and disinfect theur bowl every day.

What do you all suggest to keep humidity levels up. They are housed in ap t8 cages with rhp heat.

Thanks

I keep my humidity levels up with the substrate. I use ecoearth, so when the humidity levels start to fall, I mix in some water in a few patches and we're good to go! PVC enclosures are fantastic for humidity, but they do need a boost every now and then.

We just recently moved and for some reason this house is crazy dry. I hooked up a small humidifier in the reptile room, which has also helped a lot.

Yes placing the water on the hot side increases humidity in our enclosures which are 10, 20, and 40 gallon tanks. I have no experience with t8 cages. No our water does not get too warm, it stays a few degrees cooler than the air directly above it and we frequently see our snakes drinking from and moving thru the water. If in doubt pick up a cheap thermometer in the aquarium section of Walmart and place it in the water. You change water and disinfect the bowls every day? Why? Don't you think that's a bit OCD?

Lol. That is exactly right. I am definitely ocd. I only have two snakes so i can do the extra care for them.
