Keeping Humidity Levels Up in a Snake Room

[bigballs]

so in my snake room, without any extra help, the humidity will remain a constant 36 percent. yes it does suck but with regular misting and weekly substrate moistening i can easily keep the levels above the standard 50-60 percent for balls. so in this advanced husbandry section i am expecting to read some very advanced techniques for keeping humidity up in an entire snake room and would also like to hear how using a humidifier has worked out for all you humidifier users out there!

I live in the south so my RH% is 45-50 on a clear day and 60-80% on a stormy day so I don't have to use anything to help with the humidity.

well maybe i'll just move down south then...

Using a humidifier is a great way to increase humidity but is very much dependant upon the size of the room you are trying to raise. A smaller room will do much better than a larger room when it comes to raising humidity effectively. The Barkers state that there isn't an ideal humidity range for bps; rather we should strive to attain the lowest humidity levels while still ensuring perfect sheds in our snakes.

We have a humidifier... works well, except we had a tangle with mold for a while.

how did you deal with that situation?

Luckily, it was on the baseboard. So I scrubbed the hell out of it with bleach, and since then we've managed to get the perfect %. We keep the heat at 80, and the humidifier at 50% with misting it works well.

Hooks to water supply and runs off a humidistat, have a regular size and minifogger depending on room size.
