He didn't say. I don't care much for excess spritzing as the snake usually ends up laying on cold damp substrate without a decent increase in humidity.
I use a separate enclosure for QT, it has both a RHP and UTH. The UTH is large enough not only for the large hide used by my adult BP's, but also for a 9"x9" pyrex baking dish. I put that filled with water on the heat, another wide flat water bowl on the other side, and two hides into it. It was a bit cramped but it did keep humidity around 70% with minimal misting on the sides of the enclosure so the paper didn't end up wet.
My little BP did recover quickly too.

Re: Humidity with respiratory infection!?!?!
I just wanted to give you guys an update. I finally got her to the vet saturday after he was out of town for all of last week! He said that she is looking good, as of right now he doesn't want to do any injections and said there might be a little excess mucus but nothing significant, he didn't hear any clicking or wheezing and also said her strength was good. I wanted to thank you guys for the help especially skiploder. When I noticed the bubbles and wheezing last fri the 28th after posting this thread I changed her substrate from aspen to paper towels. I then bumped her hot spot from 90 to 93 and ambient temps up to 83-84. I disenfected her tub every other day and used the fogger with f-10 for 20 min every day. The first 4 days she continuously had her head elevated and still had a few bubbles on the side of her mouth but was slowly improving, I noticed fri the 4th she was coiled in a regular position and her head was laying flat like normal. She doesn't have clicking any more and hopefully she will continue to get better. So thanks again!
