Fogger

[navycop2004]

My enclosure is 8x4x4, what is the best fogger out there to keep it humnid in her enclosure? I have seen some DIY for rather large ones, but thinking maybe any of the regular ones will be finbe?

Is your enclosure a closed chamber? Foggers aren't really recommended since they are believed to cause respiratory problems.

I wouldn’t recommend using a fogger, they can indeed cause respiratory problems. If wanting to maintain a higher humidity, the only way to do so is making it a closed chamber. What kind of tortoise is this for? Could we see the enclosure in question?

What they said... Humidity should be maintained by reducing ventilation. Foggers should not be blowing directly into a tortoise enclosure. They are fine to use in the room because those little micro droplets will evaporate and turn into humidity.

In a closed chamber enclosure you can pour water into the corners of the orchid bark substrate and as the water evaporates, It releases humidity. Leaving the upper layer of substrate relatively dry.
Misters and humidifier units are an unnecessary complexity.
Save your money and research closed chamber enclosures

We also have an 8*4*4 enclosure, and the humidity remains above 90% without a fogger or misting system. I just use a pump sprayer to lightly water plants and substrate (3x/week).

The white hose was from her old fogger machine, it hasn't been used in over a year mainly because it broke. Also any input on what all I should put in ther so she isnt so bored, Im getting some ferns and other plants soon

A couple of hide boxes would be nice and some hanging plants. I use hanging plants to save floor space for walking.
