As for UTH working on wood you will have to give me proof on that, I have contacted Zoo Med and they said they do not condone using them on wood as it can be a fire hazard, and will burn out the UTH as they are meant for glass!!!!
I prefer a Viv that looks like furniture not a rubber maid container, and as for to much room my Ball loves it as he is super active at night!

Re: Humidity in BP Viv
use a sheet of lexan or plexiglass on the bottom of the viv with the UTH under it and the substrate over it. If you're really worried about fire than get to pieces of lexan and sandwich the uth between them.
I do agree that the viv is too tall, but on the other hand it looks awesome.

Re: Humidity in BP Viv
You could try to use a ceramic heat emitter. In my experience it doesn't dry out the humidity nearly as much.

I don't have to provide you proof on anything. You asked for advice, I gave it.
It seems you are more concerned with a pretty habitat for yourself than you are with providing proper husbandry for your ball python, so with that, you're on your own Sir.
Good luck.

Your just giving advice about a product that you haven't research!!! THANKS
And the original question was if I use a reptile fogger will it help the humidity? Other people gave better answers then you! The answer is yes it will help, as I bought one yesterday and now my tank is at a perfect 60%. So now my Ball has perfect Husbanbry 
Cheers Mate

It's husbandry with a D, not a B.
And I doubt that.
In my 13 years in this hobby and 10 years of breeding, I've tried it all and what I can tell you is that if you don't put your animals needs before your aesthetic desire to show him off in a pretty enclosure, you will continue to have issues.
Good luck, you'll need it.
Oops, I mean Goob luck.

Re: Humidity in BP Viv
I would go with either a RHP or a UTH or flexwatt.. They all work on wood and are FAR better than heat lamps.....

RPH is a radiant heat panel that you hook to the ceiling. It heats up the items on the floor of the viv and they then radiate heat through out the enclosure.
Radiant Heat Panel FAQ: Reptile Basics Inc
Flexwatt is like a heat pad you make yourself.
Flexwatt Heat Tape
This is the first site that came up when I googled but it will give you a better Idea

Re: Humidity in BP Viv
I have flexwatt in mine. I am sure you could use a UTH in the same kind of way though.

You can see pics in this thread if you look through it.
