ZooMed ReptiFogger for multiple enclosures

[jfreels]

I have been wanting to get my Brazilian Rainbow Boa into his on viv. He's been in a tub which is fine, but I'd like to look at him more. I had decided that I wouldn't make this change until I had a decent solution to keep humidity up in his viv.

Finally, I broke down and picked up a ReptiFogger. It comes with a single 4' tube that can run to a single viv. Searching online, it was hard to find a decent solution for my needs, or maybe I wasn't looking in the right places

Anyway, here's what I did and hopefully this can help someone.

What you need
1 ZooMed Reptifogger
10' 1" tubing (link goes to 3/8", but my Home Depot had the 1"...just make sure it fits into the PVC Tees)
4 3/4" 90 degree PVC elbows
3 3/4" PVC Tee

Cut the hose and plug it all together like shown below, of course every application will be different.


The tube that came with the unit plugs into the first tee and then it branches out. A tee will go on the end of each tube coming out of the first tee. The 90 degree elbows are for the tee's on the end. This will help channel the humidity down into the viv. Sorry the picture(s) are not the best. I was doing this late last night and desperately didn't want to wake my cham.

Here's the BRB viv with some humidity....


If anyone needs more detailed pics, just let me know. Also, another protip, you can change out the water chamber that comes with the unit with a 2 liter soda bottle. That way you don't have to change out the water so much.

From what i've been told, these repti foggers tend to get clogged a lot if you have hard water. Also the motor tends to burn out over time from what i heard.

For my BRB's when i get them in less than an hour, I am just going to use humid hides with very damp sphagnum moss in a little 6 quart container with a hole on the top.

Other than that, i am going to be using a HUGE water bowl in each cage to help out, that way really makes a difference.

As of the next few months, they shall remain in some 12 quart tubs where the humidity is 90-95%.

I think constant use will wear them out. I did quite a bit of research and I have them on a timer. It comes on 7 times a day for 10 minute increments. Mostly, this was for the cham though. I was getting tired of the drip system.

Also, no hard water here, I already have good water coming into my house and on top of that, the previous owners added a softener unit where the water comes into the home.

On another note, if you keep up with SnakeBytes TV, then you might want to pick up a fogger
