If you're going to use a rubbermaid/sterilite tub option for your snakes, then a fogger really won't be necessary. I live in a VERY arid part of the country (10 to 20 % relative humidity pretty much all year 'round 'cept for the monsoon season where it gets SUPER humid (30-40% lol )

I have both caging systems in my house.. and here's what I do with both to control humidity:

In the GLASS viv, I have two wooden half log hides that I can soak in warm water but they're HORRIBLE for disinfecting and I don't really like doing it. I also line the bottom of the viv with two layers of paper towels, and then put aspen bedding over it. I have two water bowls in the cage... ONE is directly over the UTH and evaps quite quickly, and the other is in the middle of the cage. With NO misting after soaking both hides for about a handling session or so (15-20 minutes), the humidity stays right around 40% for about an hour and a half..... with misting (heavy), I can get it to spike up to around 70% for about 4 to 5 hours (because of the paper towels on the floor of the cage), so I mist quite often, and soak hides, and basically, it's a pain.

With the tubs, I burn holes in the front and sides of the sterilite tubs, keeping the back closed off to form a heat pocket at the back, and put the water bowl in the front of the tub. With no misting, and with the heat tape set to give me 93 degree hot spots, I get 50-60% humidity 24/7. When a snake goes into shed, I just lightly mist, and BAM, 70-80% for about 24 hours or so.

In other words... it's a LOT easier to house in tubs! You'll have a problem getting humidity OUT, not keeping it in...
