Tank misters?

Postby Roarschak11 » Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:54 am

Hello all!
I've been working a lot during the day so I'm not home a whole lot, so I can't mist my blueys tank as much as I need. Where is the best place to buy a tank mister/humidifier for a 40 gal tank?

You can buy a Repti Fogger from Zoo Med, or just buy an ultrasonic humidifier and make one yourself. The DIY ones are generally cheaper and more reliable (I made one). Mist Kings are great systems if you're willing to spend a bit more.

What type of bluey is this for? Also, what is the humidity usually at? Unless you're seeing problems, you may not need a mister.

He's an indo (Halamerah) and he has really bad problems with shedding and dryness in general. I would be using the mister over a humid hide box I'm custom making. How would I go about making one on my own?

Making a mister that is.

You can buy some pvc pipe for next to nothing and attach it to the place where the fog comes out with some silicone or glue. The humidifier itself cost me about 25 bucks at Walgreens.
