I live in the springs and I have to mist my tanks quite often, daily when they are about to shed. As for heat, as long as your home or wherever you keep your snakes is heated and you provide a warm spot for basking the heat won't be an issue.
x2 got to love the army life!

I live in a small town about 30 miles south of Colorado Springs called, Penrose. Out in the middle of the desert, sadly.

Re: Hi from colorado
Welcome! I live just west of you in the uintah basin where it is also cold and dry. I have found that setting up a room special for your snakes and keeping a warm mist humidifier on a timer set on a cycle that keeps the room between 55 and 65% rel. humidity is great. Also, aspen shaving for substrate are great for keeping humidity up in cages.

Gomojoe and I gave some tips already, but I'll add that it would be best to keep them away from exterior walls in any season, as in the winter and summer the temps will fluctuate more from the temps outside.
yes you know I am always down especially for a home brew

Not familiar with Foco but I am familiar with Penrose. I'm down that way quite often to hit up the hot springs and go fly fishing in the Ark. I've also been through Peyton a number of times going home to KS and going drinking in the paint mines.
