Humidity Question

Posted by djairam on January 12, 2003 at 13:48:57:

I recently purchased a baby columbian boa. What is the best way to keep the humidity high enough for her. My current set up is a 20 gal tank, an under tank heater, a 75 watt bulb, aspen shavings, and a water bowl. My current humidity is about 50 %, before misting.

I've seen the fogger machines, anyone ever tries those? Do they work, what are the pros/cons?

I've also seen a humidity device, for which a tube thing is put in the tank, then you hook a fish air pump up to it. Anyone try this device?

Or, is misting the easiest, most effective way?
