I finally added a warm mist humidifier to my enclosure with a PVC pipe drilled with and elbow and it seems to be doing the trick. I have it on a timer to go on for a half hour 5 times a day and it seems to hold around 75% and raises the heat a few degrees when its on too.

Also built a new water pan out of the bottom of a plastic rain barrel :)
Cut it down to size, drilled a hole in it and added a bulkhead fitting with a ball valve so I dont have to remove it ever.....
I just dump the old water out and bring my hose over and give it a rinse and fill er back up. Works like a charm

i like the idea on the humidifier. I've got to get me one. Where did you get your humidifier from?

I like what you did, both are good ideas. I have a Slant/Fin humidifier that looks similar to what you have, never thought of setting it up like that, and the barrel top is also easy to do, once you see it done. thanks for sharing. Len

is this a special kind of humidifier you had to buy for that pipe to work?

No its a standard sunbeam humidifier, I just found the PVC to fin the outake hole so I could have it sit outside the tank and they couldnt destroy it :)
