General Humidity and Misting Qx's

Hello all,

I had a couple of general questions about humidity and misting. I have a columbian boa and I am currently using ReptiBark as my substrate in a 20 gallon glass tank with flexwatt as a heat source. I have been misting the substrate and tank about twice a day, but the tank dries out pretty quick. So, I'm concerned about keeping the humidity up.

I was thinking about using moss and misting that too to maintain humidity. Has anyone had any luck with that? Are there better things I should be using to maintain humidity, e.g. a fogger, etc.

Also, about how often should I be misting the tank? Is twice daily not enough?

Thanks,
DJ
