joann42 Sep 25, 2011 12:41 PM

A 4x2x2 with a water feature like a waterfall and partial pond design in it.Should I use a CHE. heat cable, or what kind works best.Im hoping to get between 60/70 percent humidity.I dont need high heat, its for a BRB.
He is in a tub at present but Im working on a nice display cage for him.

IMO I like CHEs - much better/wider temp gradient is possible. Just make sure the snake can't touch the surface of the heater.

Controlling the ventilation will determine the humidity. Any heater will dry out substrate. The resulting water vapor will make the cage humid if and only if ventilation is restricted or else the ambient humidity in the room is higher than the cage.
