sk8er,
...You could use a drip system but it is much easier to use damp substrate and limit the ventilation. Limiting the ventilation will keep the humidity inside the cage and will also hold heat in the cage and you will probably need to back off on the heat. Along with the requirement for high humidity Rainbow Boas require lower temperatures than other boids. I keep my Rainbow Boas with the cool end of the cage in the low 70s and the warm end in the high 70s or low 80s.
