    I just bought a fogger (My BP is shedding and instead of misting three to four times a day to keep humidity up I bought the fogger $40 at pet smart) like the one Kontron described above and like he said it splashed water everwhere so I made an enclosure out of a 20 ounce gatorade bottle and a tupperware top. I cut the top off of the bottle and hot glued a circle I cut from the tupperware top onto the top of the bottle then cut a 1"x1" notch in the side at the top. Then put the fogger and some water in it and it works perfect no splashing water around soaking the tank and substrate and the humidity stays between 70 and 80 percent which works great for my shedding BP.

    hmmm.. thats a great idea.. i may re-invest if i can build a natural looking structure to house something like that. i did like the way the fog looked. and if i could have it come out of a rock formation instead of a bottle, i would be sooOo happy. :)

    What I am going to do is probably buy one of the skull looking hides from petsmart or a hide with holes all in it. Then find a glass or just the gatorade bottle and cut it short enough to fit under it with about 1/2" space between the top of the hide and the bottle. That way the ugly bottle will be hidden and the fog will roll out from the top of the bottle and out through the holes in the mouth and eyes of the skull or the holes in the hide. I thought the skull would be kool cause the fogger glows a light red and would look good inside the skull glowing. I just fill it up about 1" above the fog sensor with water and that usually lasts long enough to keep the humidity up then automatically shuts off. It really just depends on your setup you will just have to play with it to find out what water level is right for you.

    thats a very cool idea. i was going to look for a structure that could hold a bottle, and have holes for the fog to roll out of. i think a waterfall structure may work well. replace the pump with the fog machine. when you do build you should post some pics.. i would be interested to see the skull idea in action.

    well what i would suggest is just keeping an eye on humidity. make sure you have 2 (maybe even one more) humidity guages and if humidity starts getting high, just unplug it...surely somewhere there is an automatic fogger that will give off fog for 20 or so minutes then shut off for a few hours. i'd buy it.
