What type of cage do you use? I, too, experience the same challenges (I'm in Chicago) so we are always tinkering around with humidity levels. Our exhibit animals reside in either Habitat Systems cages or Crescent Moon Creation cages; both of which do a fantastic job in maintaining optimal humidity levels. We incorporate pro product radiant heat panels and pro product misting systems into our cage designs and this is really the key to our success....haven't had a single RI problem since using these products. If you don't have the resources for this type of set up, and, since I am not sure how big this burm is, you can provide a humidity shelter which is nothing more than a plastic storage box filled with dampened sphagnum moss with a hole on the lid for access...this can be placed towards the warm end so that the snake can lie in a high humid environment w/out having to worry about keeping the entire cage at optimal levels.
