Humidity questions...

[divapixie]

OK... for the time being the only means of humidity I have are a spray bottle often... what do you all suggest for humidity control? Is there any one method that works best? How do you regulate it?
Thanks for the help! It is greatly appreciated! :wink:

Those threads and the DIY should get you started. How are you measuring your humidity now and what level is it?

In the summer, our humidity levels are great and require no effort whatsoever. In the colder months, humidity levels drop significantly due to dryer air outside and the use of furnaces and other heating devices inside the house. I went out on Monday and bought a $20 humidifier at Wal Mart which I put in the room where I keep my snakes. It has helped significantly. I house most of my snakes in Rubbermaids/Sterlites, but I keep my favorite python in a glass tank. Of course, glass enclosures make it much harder to maintain humidity levels, so in that enclosure, I covered the screen top with clear contact paper with a few small holes cut out for ventilation. I put a Repti Flo in the water dish, and now the humidity level on the warm side is around 67% and the cool side is so humid there is condensation on the sides. The python is actually a liasis fuscus or brown water python, so it requires much higher humidity than BPs. If I kept a BP in there, the Wal Mart humifier would probably suffice.
