So I recently rescued a ball python from Craigslist, and was just wondering what humidifier you guys think would work best, she's in a glass tank about 5feet by 1foot.

You don't need a humidifier and one would probably make unideal conditions for a ball python.

I'd modify the tank(Cover screen top to retain heat and humidity, cover three sides for security) to support the conditions required or just get a proper snake enclosure which will be much easier to maintain temps and humidity.

My dad uses that repti fogger. Works great for him! And yeah, I agree with Mikoh. Cover up the screen.

In a proper enclosure you really don't need a humidifier. However if your dead set on getting one get the walgreens brand one its way cheaper and works much better then the repti fogger.

I can't remember how much I paid I wanna say like 40 and then I just used a piece of hose and some hot glue to attach it to cage. There are lots of videos on YouTube that show you how to do it.

Thanks for the advice you guys :) I'm defiantly going to get one cause I live in a really dry area and everyone who has a ball python that I know around me has a humidifier, and I'm defiantly going to change her lid. :)
