    Isn't the fog cold? I used one once but I returned it because it dropped the temperature too much.

    You could put it on a timer or you can hook it up to a controller. Many higher end tstats will control humidity as will the so when the humidity drops below the set number the controller will turn the fogger on. I had one set up like this for my BRB before he was in a pvc cage. It worked very well and I love the way the fog rolls in.

    Ive heard so many mixed opnions but I built a custom enclosure abd sealed it but still cant get humidity above 40 so was looking at other options.

    I didn't have a problem. One tip I would suggest is using distilled water. The fogger will build up deposits over time and fail or need a good deep cleaning. Distilled water to help keep that from happening.

    Also the little bottle it comes with is a joke. I changed it out to a 2liter soda bottle. The bottle adapter fits well and gives the fogger much more time between fill up.

    I had a ReptiFogger. I sold it off with the big glass tank I replaced with my custom pvc ones.

    Sounds kind of cool even with a plastic cage, I may look into one but I don't want a swamp either so I'm undecided.

    You won't get a swamp, it's perfect had no problems yet

    No swamp but the hose will build up condensation in it. I had the unit above the tank and ran the hose down into the interior of the tank. This allowed the water to run down the hose and not build up inside it. This was not a lot of water but what I did to put it to use was place moss under the hose to catch and hold the water.

    We just bought a monsoon misting system for our tank and it has made a world of difference and like your baby Khaleesi loves it. She will raise herself up to the sprayer and wait for it to come on lol.

    My caging setup is different from yours. Just adding new cypress can cause an over abundance of condensation in the cages I use.

    I'm also not sure how I'd get the fog hose into the tiny vents in the back, but nonetheless, I think it would be fun to experiment and see how things shape up.

    Keep us posted on how your fogger does over time.

    I drilled a hole on top of the cage and put the hose through it, I have eco earth bedding so it soaks up right into it.

    I also use a reptifog fogger, it is a zoomed. I had aproblem getting my humidity over 40. now it pretty much hovers between 50 and 65 and my little guy just shed and it was 2 large pieces, but it was complete. i got mine at petco, because of their no questions asked return policy. Even if you buy it at their online store, you can bring it back to any local store if their is a problem with it. My guy loves it and except for the 2 or 3 days after he eats he still uses his cool hide. I have it on a timer and it goes on every 3 hours.

    Though not really what I'd consider "affordable" this system is from the company that makes the RHP I use.

    The hoses would easily fit into my cages, but I'm really not having humidity issues.

    I like the fogger idea just for the cool visual effect it adds and would like to see some more photos of your's in action.
