The room humidity won't matter, it's what's in the cage that matters, lol!
I have a wick humidifier for me, but supposedly it won't bring a room up past 50% or something like that. It's a little known fact that native Floridians have gills and we dry out in the winter months. My house is 39% right now and my sinuses are killing me! Since I can't get the humidity up and I don't want a damp house (you're right there), I deal with the cages and suffer (I'm such a martyr).
First I make sure that the heat is high enough to support the humidity since they go hand in hand. My Burm is also in a 6ft AP and I don't have much problem with the humidity there. My bp's are in an aquarium and I have to work with them a bit more. I did construct a humid hide that I place under the heat lamp. I also go through and mist if I need to keep the humidity up. It seems labor intensive, but it's really just during the winter cold snaps when the gas furnace is running and the peak of the A/C season when I have the most problems.
