If you are using a glass aquarium, with a screen top, you will have problems keeping the humidity high enough in the whole enclosure. If that is your setup, you might think about a humid hide, instead of trying to humidify the whole enclosure. Basically, a humid hide is a hide with damp moss/paper towels/vermiculite, or something similar, that the BP can go in when it needs the extra humidity, like during a shed cycle. If you do a search on the old forum for "humid hide," you will find some good ideas for making one.
Personally, I use sterilite/rubbermaid tubs to house my BP's. These keep the humidity perfect all the time.
