    Humidifiers and timers

    looking for a solid,small,not expensive, simple humidifier that I can set on a timer that would mist my tank about every 2 hours to help with humidity.
    I work long days Monday through fri,on avg 11-13 hrs a day...it's not easy to work with the humidity. So I really need a humidifier as a helping hand

    Looking to to see what everyone uses,any help would be much appreciated. TY,

    Jay

    I had it going through my screen top but now i have a new enclosure and i built it right in. Dont leave it on too long or you will flood your enclosure... See if you can find the humidifier i used its a bell and Howell personal ultrasonic humidifier

    Walmart has a selection of humidifiers by Crane that work well, they are cheap and come in different designs. There is an elephant one, made for kids, that works very well and very easy to attache a hose too so you can pipe it into your enclosure. Use a normal timer and just set it to go on every few hours.

    Yup that's what I did. Just get some flexible tubing, attach it to the humidifier, and pipe it into the enclosure.

    ZooMed Repti Fogger. $50 or so, and works like a champ. Just make sure you always use DISTILLED water. Otherwise, mineral buildup will kill it. Filtered or tap water is bad news. Also, clean it every couple of weeks.

    We have an Monsoon RS 400 from Exoterra. It works like a charm.

    But I gotta say, I love the Macgyver version up thread!
