Depends on what type of enclosure you use....

We just humidify the whole room, because our enclosure is wire. We use a large, cool mist humidifier, but if you are using a solid enclosure, you can direct a warm mist humidifier into one of the enclosure vents. You will need a humidity indicator, and be careful of condensation. In a solid wall enclosure, you can overhumidify, and have everything dripping. somewhere between 60 and 80% is good, but the high end may get everything too wet. Too wet is just as bad as too dry. Also, in a solid enclosure, a large pan of water in the bottom may be all you need, along with some spritzing. The ig will welcome the chance to bathe and drink from this, but be forwarned, you will have to keep it clean, as they will use it as a potty... We have a ceramic birdbath top in the bottom of the cage, and it gets cleaned and refreshed every day. Good luck and best wishes...
