BP Humidifier Instructions...

These work very well.

I used one when I was treating a snake for RI. This helped to keep the mucous thin enough for her to breathe while the medicine did it's job. You can make them as small or as large as you need.

For a single snake in a quarantine tub, I used the smallest air pump I could find, and an empty 20 oz soda bottle. If you have multiple snakes and all the tubs need help, you can buy a big dual outlet air pump and use gallon jugs.

They don't make a lot of noise, and are safe as long as you clean the jugs at least once a week to prevent algae or bacteria buildup.

Question: How long would i leave this running?

It depends on several factors; how much humidity you need, the current rh of the room, the enclosure's ventilation. Being the winter and for my rainbow boa that needs 70+ humidity, I run this non-stop and still mist the tank at least once a day. Without it the humidity would be around 30%, it keeps it up around 50 when the light is on and 58 at night (without misting). With misting I can keep it 70-80% all day, it would be impossible without it.

If it were producing too much humidity, you could use a humidistat to turn the air pump on when the humidity gets low.

I currently have my one pump running 24/7 to 3 tubs. This one pump, with the one gallon jug used in the video, keeps all three tubs @ about 60% with aspen bedding.
