here is a tip that is a bit off the subject. To keep the ambient temp. the same from the top cages to the bottom I use a fan in the middle of the room pointed at the ceiling. Before I did this there was about an 8 degree difference in ambient temp. from the ceiling cage to the floor cage. I'm sure a ceiling fan would work too, just use the lowest setting on your fan that will get the ambient temp equalized. I had to set my fan on Med. to get adequate air/temp. circulation. Then of course a hot spot is added to each cage.

I'm not sure how other snake owners with a "snake room" maintain their humidity, but I have a "Vicks" brand humidifier.. Well actually it's one of those cheap things that help people w/ decongestant or sinus problems breath better. I then attached it to a timer. I can run in on and off in 15 min increments with the timer, and about once a month depending on the time of year i'll adjust times that humidity is added to the room.
