    A room humidifier is the easiest and cheapest likely. The cool mist ones will often tank the temps so unless you are in a hot area I'd go with a warm mist type. I usually get two years out of a unit.

    Tank foggers are asking for scale rot and usually put out too much humidity at a time.

    Like Aaron said, it depends on your caging.

    Tubs and PVC enclosures don't usually require extra misting. Glass Tanks are more difficult to maintain humidity.

    Re: thermostat advice needed

    this is the tank it is in right now.


    I live in utah so humidity is always on the low end and so far it has been a pain in the butt to keep the humidity up

    also I have insulated the sides of the tank and covered 3/4 of the top of the tank and that helped but it is still a lot of checking to make sure it is good

    Substrate can greatly effect humidity. I have found that coco husk (Eco earth) is the best for holding humidity. Cypress mulch comes in second.

    You can cover most of the screen top with a damp towel or aluminum foil.

    You can add another or larger water dish

    If humidity is really an issue a humid hide (hide with moss in it)
