You can easily find an automatic mister or an ultrasonic fogger online. I use reptilesupply.com
They have fast shipping and great customer service

Well at this one petshop I have visited, they have this tube that provides water vapor and they aim it at their pet cages. They have humidifiers I know for sure, but you have to find one that is geared towards your enclosure.

What do you use for substrate and enclosure? I hope you have air conditioner cause I would hate to live ina 110 and 115 degree household.

There should be no need for an automatic mister. A change of substrate, using UTHs instead of lamps, and covering the screen lid should be enough even in the dryest climates.

o ya. a/c is a must out here. it barely gets down to 90 at night. but we use orchid bark and we do cover half the screen top with plastic wrap. and humidity is still kinda low.

You could try a bigger water bowl. I wouldn't recommend the mister, those are more for amphibians and animals that require over 80% humidity.

Are you using lamps?

I live in Texas and had the same problem with my Boa. I started using repti-bark for substrate and got 2 large water bowls. I covered 3/4th of the lid with a towel that I would soak with water every morning, and I had to change from ceramic heat. I would also mist the sides of the tank and substrate about once a day, and that seemed to do it for me. Hope it helps.
