Thanks for your recommendation man. I really appreciate it! As it turns out, I went to pick up a live rat from a local snake/rat breeder and I brought this subject up. He took me into his snake room and showed me his cheap little 1 gallon $20.00 cool mist humidifier. His room is probably almost twice the size of mine and he claims that his little humidifier will easily keep his room 60% - 70% and even cause condensation to form on his walls. How large of a room do you keep your snakes in?
