Hmmm....well stated Mr. I!

Maybe what I should do is put the room mist on one time daily for 4 minutes or so. That would be the same a spraying the air once daily.
Then what I can do is mist the reptile areas on a seperate timer so they have their own moisture.

The thing is that misting does right next door to absolutely nothing as far as raising ambient humidity. Sure, it provides a spike in humidity, but as soon as the water droplets settle down or evaporate, you're right back where you started. The only way you're going to raise humidity *in the containers* is to add water *in the containers*... water sprayed into the airspace of the room will not somehow magically find its way into the cages, you have to put it there. Wetting a corner of the substrate will allow the water to evaporate off slowly, raising ambient humidity as it does...

Your attention to your animals' care is commendable... the misting thing just isn't the way to go... :) Although your setup is quite impressive, I must say...
