Ideas for Raising Humidity Level ????

[Tosh10]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on raising the humidity levels for a very large enclosure. I live in an extremely dry region so this obviously doesn't help my situation.

Currently, I have been misting the enclosure several times a day. I also bough a Repti-Fogger which has helped, but still has not raised the humidity to adequate levels. I now also have a medium sized fountain and have rigged up my own fogger with plastic tubing and an ultrasonic humidifier which works great. The humidity levels seem to vary between 50%-60%, so I just need to get the humidity levels a little higher. Does anyone have other suggestions?

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Jen

What sort of substrate are you using?

What size / type enclosure are you using? Pictures?

I am using Coco Husk as a substrate.

I used coco husk for quite some time and it worked fine because we have a steady level of humidity here in Houston. I would try using an Eco earth mix or some soil, never used either but I'd assume they'd be easier to keep moist to the touch.

if your enclosure is more airtight you can try putting an airstone in the water bowl like the ones you use in a fish tank. i used one on one of my empty enclosures to test it out and i managed to get it up to 90% humidity.plus is will circulate the air. and the substrates are good too.
