    His tank is in my room at the moment which is actually an unfinished basement I usually use humidifiers in the winter anyway, so I think later this week (ie. paycheck day) will be when I go grab one.

    I'm also curious if misting systems are any good with BP setups. I have a fogger in my crested geckos terrarium (soon to be a bioactive viv!) and it does great with their required spikes and drops.

    Why not use a plastic bin for your BP. Glass tanks in my opinion are not a good choice. Alot of people like using the tanks because they can see their snake nicely, but keep in mind, this isn't what you want or is nice to look at. It all boils down to what is good for your snakes and tanks do not allow to provide the humidity you need. It also sounds like you house geckos and tanks can work for them being that you are also providing a humid hide at all times. I have a leopard gecko myself and mist her tank twice a week along with her humid hide. I never see her out tho as she is always hidden in one of her other hides. But as mysterious as she is, she manages to shed okay...

    I'm not a fan of soaking substrate or lowering airflow, too much risk of mold or belly rot or respiratory issues. You want high humidity in the air constantly, not jumping around, a room humidifier or proper cage would be my choice. Humid hide with moss better than nothing.

    Re: Okay, what else can I do to increase humidity?

    I have an exoterra tank.. top is covered.. all the stuff that shld work didnt.. so wnt and got a cool most humidifier and piped it into the cage.. its on a timer, run 4 times a day. I now have no himidity issues. Granted, it loses some humidity tween run times.. but thats why mine runs many times a day. No more cage misting and water spots..no more humidity issues.
