fogger or misting system for ball pythons???

what would be better to use to keep the humidity up a fogger or a mister for my ball python :confusd: and what brands should i use? ive also heard that you can make your own is that true?

Squirt bottle once a day works great! If you dont want to deal with that id say fogger but u would better off making your own from a humidifier...if you google it a bunch of how to videos will pop up

The Repti Fogger is a good option for humidity control if you are going to use a fogger. Save the money you'd spend on one though and buy a Hydrofarm thermostat instead. If you can afford a Repti Fogger, you can afford a Hydrofarm. ;)

what will a hydrofarm do???

It's the thermostat to control your ZooMed heater that you said you couldn't afford in your other thread.

ok but a homemade fogger would be ok?

Absolutely 100%. Having a thermostat is critical - having a fogger is not.

What about the option of a humidifier for the entire room your snakes are in? 50% is easily attainable with a humidifier and still comfortable for living (IMO). Then you could still mist during a shed cycle to get the extra humidity that's needed during this time. They're pretty cheap at WalMart, Target, Walgreens, etc...

Here's a thread on the topic of foggers for BPs: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ghlight=fogger

Here's a pretty decent video for a DIY fogger if you do choose to go that route: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr8-S3JkafQ

Hope this helps!

having too much humidity will also cause problems with your ball pythons.

The cheapest method would be to cover up your screen with seran wrap. Brought my humidity from 30% to 65%.
I have my screen covered about 40%

This is assuming you are using a tank.

Reptifogger has worked well for me in our dry winters but, for about $30 you can purchase a "personal sonic humidifier" a bit of hose and get exactly the same effect.

Homehardware carries the personal ultra-sonic humidifiers.

What is your setup? You shouldnt need a mister for BPs be more specific unless I missed something its not that hard to keep humidity around where you need it. You can raise humidity by misting the hide when shedding.

We just bought a Safety 1st Humidifier off Amazon ($35) and a 1" piece of rubber tubing and drilled a hole in the top of the tank and our humidity has been sitting perfectly at 60% for two straight days.
