Craigfrechette:: I hope you aren't suggesting a tub/rack setup. Because I'm not going with anything smaller. While I'm not 100% sure it's a long and not just a regular 55 gallon, I haven't noticed my ball having any trouble handling it one way or the other. She eats like a champ. No bad sheds. And constantly find her chilling on one of the magnetic ledges or wound around the top of a large fake stump near the top (away from heat source).

Squirmypug:: Actually the humidifier was the final thing I tried after constant misting, wet towel over half the lid with tin foil around the other half, and still not getting it above 40%. Keep in mind though that's only been this winter. During the summer it was a heck of a lot easier as it wasn't so dry (even with 100+f degree Temps outside). So yes... For the winter and fall it is absolutely needed.

Bogertophis:: Both times when this has happened this winter (didn't happen all summer at all) there was a good bit of concensatiom and general wet under the dome around the light. Both times happened after upping the humidity for a shed (which is happening now as well)
