What does anyone out there suggest if you live in an area where you're having an unsually cold winter and the air has been extremely dry, even more than usual for a winter? I have a very large water bowl in my tank and I close off almost the entire top and the humidity is still having problems going up. On the one side, I have a UTH that is on 24/7 and a lamp that is on about 12 hours a day. I know the lamps dry things out but I need them both on for part of the day to at least get the air temp. up when I'm not here and the room gets a little chilly. If I just use a UTH, the humidity stays up alot better but it doesn't heat the tank as well, just the very bottom. And of course, you can't turn an UTH up too high because then you could hurt your snake. Anyway, it doesn't get cold in here or anything but when it's about 5 degrees out it still is hard to keep the room warm unless you start blowing a lot of money turning your furnace way up, when you aren't home. And when I mist the tank a lot it helps but then I worry about it getting too wet in there and the snake having skin problems because of it. I don't mist it enough and the humidity doesn't go up too much. Any advice from anyone that lives in a similar climate would be appreciated! Thanks!
