Re: Does anyone use the homemade humidifier?
so i made a homemade humidifier with a 1 litter soda bottle. i attatched a hose to a fish tank air pump. the hose leads into the bottles lid. at the en of the tube is a air stone. the bottle has water in it and 2 tubes leading into the pythons tank. the 2 ends of the tubes in the bottle are located at the bottom of the bottle and sit an inch inside of the bottle above the water. my sealant did not seal the holes so good so that may be my problem. does anyone have some suggestions.

i used plastic wrap on half the lid to keep heat and humidity in zhe tank and from rising out of the tank drastically .

on this side the right side of the tank, i have this hide box made from tupperware, there is moss inside and ontop as well as a UTH to make a sauna like spot for shedding. the reptibark also helps with shedding. i have 2 kinds of substrate in my tank for dual purpose. humidity and shedding.

i have 2 air stones in the water dish to create moving water and it helps humidify the tank. remember some reptiles do drink the water dripping from leaves.

on the left side the cool side. i have echinsons hide box same as the other. burried under reptibark and under the water dish providing a dark place that is cool for temp regulations. there is moss inside here. and actuall 2 hide spots in 1. ech preffers the amaller side of it.

i also left the cool side vosable from the back. echinson is always in the coolside so i figured it be nice to be able to spy on her n see if shes ok or not.
also i pour 8 ounces of water treated with reptisafe into the hot sides substrate so the UTH will evaporate it into the air making it humid for hours without having to check it and its not to humid.

my temps and humidity pretty much stay at this.
