I have an unusual question inspired by desperately trying to find a humidity source for my BP that will last for more than a few hours. This winter has been cold, and very dry. I'm replacing Ghost's glass enclosure with a mesh top with an AP cage, but it takes 10-12 weeks to get here after ordering, so I'm looking for a temporary solution for the winter. I already keep a wet towel on top of half of the mesh, mist when it needs, and have sphagnum moss sprinkled throughout. The humidity usually falls very low during the night.

My coworker gave me a terracotta disk called a brown sugar disk.

Here's an example: https://www.surlatable.com/product/P...wn+Sugar+Saver

If you soak it for 15 minutes in water, it is supposed to keep sealed food moist for months. I'm not sure if this would, in any noticeable way, translate to his enclosure. Has anyone happened to try something like this? Is terracotta safe to put into a BP tank? I don't imagine it would break easily, but I know they are sensitive to certain materials (though I'm thinking of wood oils, terracotta is a natural source as well, so I'm not sure if it contains anything inappropriate for snakes.
