The heat pad under the water definitely helps with humidity. The fact that you say the cage is still fogged in the morning leads me to wonder if it is TOO humid...I am not familiar with the BARS cages (I've seen them, but don't remember this) - how much ventilation do they have?
There are several options for maintaining consistent temps - I keep mine in 78 qt sterilite boxes, in a temp controlled room. I have cages set up for them in a different room, heated with radiant heat panels, but I can't seem to get the heat dialed into my satisfaction and I'm not moving them til I do. I know what I need to change to make it happen, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. One option I had previously considered was using heat tape up the back of the cages. whatever you choose, make sure it is designed for use in high humidity environments.
