This humidifier I purchased was a 2 gallon table top model. The only problem is in the winter I was filling the reservoir sometimes twice a day. It should be alright for the summer months, but when I buy my next one it will have a lot bigger reservoir for water!!

jo, i really like the warm mist types. the have a heating element in them and no filters in the ones i like. i only have a small room so a small one works great. i get mine at wally world around 20 bucks. the only maintenance is a monthly scraping of the element. how big of a room are you going to use it in?

Not sure Vaughn, since it's my imaginary snake room at this point LOL. Just wondered if this one was a good idea or what others were using that might be better as far as things like cool/warm mist...filters...size. I hate buying something thinking "whoopeee just right!" and then realizing I should have asked here first LOL.

In my snake room, the warm mist and cool-mist type of humidifers left a white film on my glass doors and such. I went with an evaporative type of humidifier and all is well.

I bought a hunter evaporative type that has a humidistat (that I leave at 50%) and it makes the room just about perfect.

Ooh, that sounds cool, especially one with it's own humidistat. Any recc's on where to buy something like that?

So warm over cool is the consensus? My room is at like 30% right now (partly because of the uro tank in there which is moving out shortly). I might have to pick one of these up.

I think I need a nuclear powered humidifier. Curent snake room stats.. 29% humidity and 81 degrees on the cool side of the room. I used our old humidifier a few months ago, but it took the humidity from 26% to a whopping 35%.. I need something better. I've taken to upping humidity in individual cages now.

if one like this doesn't work, then just get a water hose and a sprinkler head! lol

That sounds like a good one.. have you tried it? Can I get replacement filters from that site?
