I heat the room with an electric radiator attached to a RANCO Digital Thermostat. The best price I have found is here:

But I digress, the humidity in my room stays at a constant 40-60% by using a $35 ultrasonic humidifier I bought at Wal-Mart. It is a Reli-On brand, and I had one die after a year but I took it back to Wal-Mart and they replaced it with no hassle. I run it 12 hours a day on the same timer as the lights, at about 3/4 of full output. To keep it clean I put a small amount (1 or 2 ozs.) of diluted (1.5oz. per gal) Virosan solution in it about once a week. It seems to keep growth of icky-stuff down to a minimum, but I wouldn't over do it because the ultrasonics are really sensitive to chemicals. I just put it in the resevoir. I am very pleased and all my snakes (corns/boas basically) are too.

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful. Everybody dies frustrated and sad, and that is beautiful.
