Why is this a bad idea?

Have you considered a room humidifier, or if the space heater is the type with a fan, have the warm air blow across a pan of water, to increase the humidity in the room?

I would also make humid hides with either the eco-earth or spaghnum moss, your BP's will use them as needed. Mine did when they were in tanks. They also tend to do their business in them as well, which makes clean-up easy but they blew through the spaghnum pretty fast...

I'm hesitant to use a humidifier in that room mainly because the hubby uses the closets in there to store his gun collection (I had no idea I was marrying an English closet redneck, but he gets guns and I get snakes so it works out and makes gift-giving pretty easy), and I also store meteorites in there.

I'm in Phoenix as well and use large water bowls and Venta air washers. The air washers don't use filters so they don't get gross. Simple and it works for me.

Dave, how would you score those Venta washers on odor and dust removal?

I'm thinking it might end up being easier to just get a lot more aggressive on the "spring cleaning" I'm currently doing and create a new space for him to store all his toys and my rocks, and just put a humidifier in there. Ideally I could humidify only the racks, but it does seem like humidifying the whole room is simpler. Thanks guys, sometimes it takes a bit of a push for me to do things logically when I get my teeth sunk into something .
