    How can I find out more about this Tropic-Air humidifier and where can I purchase it? cost?

    I am so glad I found this site, you guys/gals are great.
    I swear I havent worried this much about something since my son was a baby. Gotta look out for my Ozzy.

    I used the duct tape idea and I also notice the heat vent for the room was puttin a lot of hot dry air told his tank so I readjusted it and so far the humidity is staying in the 45-55% range sometimes going up to 60%
    so hopefully we are good now.

    As long as you keep it above or in 50 your fine. But when your snake start to shed you should try to boost it up to the 70's.
    The tropic-aire humidifier you can find at any petco or petsmart. the only thing that you need is a air pump. With all that the cost of all is about 20 bucks.
    hope this help you a little :)

    Here's a link to a discussion on the Tropic-Aire:

    May be of some help. You can get them at most petstores and online. Some places even include an air pump. I've kept fish for many years and for a quiet air pump I'd recommend the Rena brand - but any brand will work. I also recommend getting an air pump that is rated for an aquarium larger than then size you have so you get even more output. I love this think because I only have to refill the reservoir once every 1-2 weeks. You still have to cover a good deal of the top. I use duct tape. Since using this I don't have to do any of the other tricks to raising humidity during non-shed times. When my BP sheds I still probably don't have to do anything else, but I go ahead and mist once daily just to be sure.
