Answers:

You can use a misting machine made for reptile habitats or a squirt bottle and spray the habitat yourself.

Julia is absolutely right. Just remember to mist the cage, not drench it. . .

I would build a big aquarium mad of Plexiglases and wood. Some sort of wood that wont suck up allot of moister. Aquarium big enough for a small water pond and put a water Prof heat-rock under the water pond and have good ventilation and have some tree branches. Snakes like to clime and have light .

Misting machine, Cypress Mulch holds humidity well, Large Water Bowl on warm side of tank, buy a misting water bottle, make a humid hide with moist sphagnum moss.

These are all great ways to raise the humidity.

Also, using UTH (Under Tank Heaters) will help raise the humidity levels if the cypress has been misted or water bowl.

I'm having the same problem with my boa's cage, I mist it everyday but still can't get the humidity past 50-60%,I also have a large bowl of water on the warm side and half the screen top covered and nothing seems to work, so today I'm just going to go to the pet store see if I can find one of these misting machine things people are talking about. Good luck!

Some ideas:

- Cover most of the air vents or top of the tank to build up humid air and heat inside the cage. The downside of this is that it adds to the 'sick air syndrome' if the air does not replenish often.
