You should be able to maintain 80%-plus humidity in an AP cage without it working you to death. If Kelly reads this post maybe he'd be kind enough to post his photo of how he used something like a wallpaper water tray filled with water and a towel in it that works like a wick.

You can also put a few inches of cypress mulch in the cage (around her and/or in the open areas) and keep it misted. Cypress mulch is more mildew/mold resistant than pine shavings, aspen, and you can get a big bag pretty cheap at most garden centers, like at Home Depot, Lowes, and maybe even Wal-Mart.

Best wishes!
