Just bought a Zoo Med Reptifogger

You can take a bit of stiff wire, even a section of a wire coathanger (unless you've got a Mommy Dearest hangup) and bend about 1/2 in back into a tight hook. Secure the hook over the lip of the hose, extending a few inches in. Bend the hose and hook to matching shapes, and it should hang pretty securely.

Great idea! Thank you so much

Another idea, either in conjunction with the above idea or used in a different way, is to take the hose to home depot and find a PVC fitting that fits it. That way you have something sturdy to connect to, instead of that hose which is rather easily crushed.

Here's a pic of the way I set mine up. I had an extra hose from my first RF. I cut the hose in half and connected the factory ends to a T piece from a small volume nebulizer. The hoses are 5/8 inside diameter, and the T piece fit perfectly. That's an ExoTerra Compact top canopy. If you want to do something like this, I can point you in the right direction.

To those who have a Reptifogger, how do you secure the plastic hose to the top of your snake's terrarium? I have tried to position it, but it almost always falls over. I want to use something that can come off easily so it's not much of a hassle when I remove the screen top, so tape is not an option for me (it just gets in the way).

I actually cut out a hole in the petco screen top and just stuck it in that way.

I'm worried that if I do that, then my snake will escape, even though I know there's no way she could fit through a hole that small. I'm too damn paranoid.

Lol I made it almost the exact size of the tube. So snug he couldn't even push it out if he tried.

If you take a scrap from a pair of hose or a stocking, you can put it over the end of the fogger hose, secured with a rubber band. After that, put the end through the screen top and put another rubber band on the other side of the screen to prevent it from being pushed back out.

You can use small zip ties instead of rubber bands, just make sure you smooth out any sharp edges when you cut off the excess.
