It's fairly easy to provide some high humid microclimates for your fwc ranging from humidity boxes made from food storage containers with a hold cut in the lid and filled with spaghnum moss to providing a subterranean retreat under the water bowl which works very well. You'll find that your fwc will utilize large, shallow basins as opposed to the commercial dog and cat bowls that have steep sides. We use the plastic plant saucers used for putting potted plants on...they come in many sizes and are very inviting for aquatic loving species. you can actually lay one inverted over natural substrate with a small entrance hole and then place the same tray on top of that with the water - this will create a fairly high humid retreat underneath. Obviously, you don't want your entire cage to be damp/humid so make sure there are ample areas for the snake to remain dry.

Paul, I have approved the photos you have posted, and they should now show in the Photo Albums.
The problem is that the site managers do not check for new photos needing approval every day, so it is always best to tell us here in Experts that you have posted photos and they need to be approved.
Best Regards
John Z
