I have mine empty. Cornsnakes dont need any more humidity than what is already in the air, our climate is similar to their natural habitats climate. A little bit of extra humidity during shedding is most of the time not needed but doesn't do any harm for the short time it takes them to shed and ensures they should have a good shed.

Good luck with the lid, my snake knocks it off every single time he goes near it.

I used to pop some aspen in mine for Lister, when he was little, so he could still bury and feel secure. I don't now, as he's gotten a lot bigger and wouldn't fit if I put aspen in! The one time he has knocked the lid off was yesterday, and he proceeded to poop all over it :x
