The humidity was pretty high in my snake room today, because we have had some rain, so the humidity was already at 53%. Once I got this humidifier setup and running it brought the humidity right up to 60% within less than 15 minutes I would say. I ran it on high at first until the humidity reached 60% then I switched it to low and it has been maintaining 60% humidity in my snake room ever since. One of the things I like about this humidifier is it has a built-in humidistat, so it will sense when the water level in the air has gone down and kick the humidifier off and on automatically. Another great thing about this humidifier is that is uses very little wattage. When tested on a killowatt meter it only draws 71 watts on high, 66 watts on medium and only 58 watts on low. So, it's very efficient.

The room i'm currently using is only 8' x 11', so I would have to say this humidifier is waaay overkill for such a small room considering it is capable of humidifying up to 3200 square feet. But, I have already pretty much outgrown this small room already and I will be moving my snakes to a much larger room in my house before too long. So, this will be great!
Any thoughts on how this would do in a split level home? I'm on the fence between this and getting a smaller one just for the level I'm on and keep the reptiles. Home is 3 level split with a basement so technically a 4 level. Primary concern is whether it will reach all 3 levels if I place it on the lower level, above the basement.
