If you are using tubs you can make holes in it to vent to keep your humidity to about 60%. Also I just switched to tubs and I am using papertowels. Another thing you can use is newspapers. Cheap...easy to clean. I have to agree with the other poster...I love the ceramic hides...they are really easy to clean but the more snakes you get....the more expensive it is. You can get cheap hides at the dollar store. I even once used the top to a pitcher....it already had the hole in it. Worked perfect for the first 2-3 months.
I know what you mean about our significant others spraying everything down. When we had the tanks I had to hid the spray bottle from the hubby as he was spraying it down all the time. :rolleyes: Then he started spray it in the house to get the humidity up in the house....ugh...:rofl:
