A easy way to get their heads wet is very high humidity; however as you have stated the spray bottle is not one of their favorites and if you are using a bedding like aspine bedding this can be very dangerous as aspine can mold. So I like to remove then from their cage and take them to the most humid room in the house. Where would that be you may ask??? Before I tell you you must promise not to look at me like a freak! Ok, that we have agreed. The most humid place in the house it the bathroom. Close the door, turn the shower on warm, and in minutes you have a nice humid clement. HOWEVER, there are some things to take into consider ration before your snakes go in. First of all when what the bathroom cleaned last and with what. You do not want to loss your pet do to poisons from some cleaner. Also Temp is always important to hot, to long, death. And do not leave then unattended. I normally put them on the shower rod and let them wonder around for 10-15 mins before I try to pull the skin. They can fall off the rod and if the water is to hot and no way of escape can also lead to death.

This may sound like a very risky way to wet heads but it seems to be the easiest for me, just use common sense if you use this method and as I said keep a close eye on them.

Matt
