I've heard those are a real time-saver.

However, what kind of enclosure do you have her in? Does it have screen on the top or on the front? You may need to seal it about half off to get the humidity to go up higher, even with an automatic fogger.

OK, I just was on another forum and found that someone had adapted a $30 ultrasonic humidifer to fog their vivaria. The forum is Vivariumforums.com and the thread is External Ultrasonic Fogger . You might want to check out what they did, as it appears that it will cost you less than half what you're looking at. They posted pics so you can see what they did and how it looks, too.

good luck!

Here's a link to the thread:

External Ultrasonic Fogger - Vivarium Forums

Hope you're able to see what he's done. Not beautiful, but could be hidden, and it apparently does the job. Some of the folks on that forum are real pros at DIY. Kinda like Mykee here.

XxxxKatrinaxxX - They do devenomize cobras- they are referred to as "venomoid." I'm sure someone has done a king cobra, but I know the monocled cobras are pretty popular. They can be hand-tamed, although I would recommend always treating it with kid gloves. There's always the chance someone screwed up the surgery and left a bit of venom gland in there, and even if fully devenomized, they still have nasty fangs. I am thinking of getting a normal venomoid monocled.

Steven, what's the diameter of the widest girth of your BRB? From what I've read for care of BRBs, the size of the prey item you can feed should be determined by the girth of your snake, with the prey about the same size or slightly smaller than the widest portion of the snake. It should make a noticeable lump.

Katrina & Willow, regarding the cobras being devenomized--though it is done, it is not a healthy thing for the snakes. In part, their venom is necrotizing, which means it digests tissue. It is an important component of digestion for them. When the venom glands are removed, their digestive capabilities are significantly reduced, impairing their long-term health.

The ones that i have seen can easily take a large rat as long as they are fed regularly. a breeder i know has a breeding pair and he keeps them rather large and the male eats a large rat every 2-3 weeks and the female eats a jumbo rat every 2 weeks or so. He usually feeds his snakes about 3 days after they have the bowel movement that contains the remains of the prey. He said it is when the poop is brown or black.
