Struggling with Humidity?

[lori12386]

Hi. I know some here are strugggling keeping the humidity up. I wanted to share what works for me. My humidity stays about 80%. I took a tupperware cut holes in the lid filled it with water and put a pond fogger in it. It works great! I also leave the lid somewhat cracked open to let a little more moisture out. I have been using this for about two months now and it is awesome. I fill it up with about a quart of water twice a day(morning and night). Here is a video of my enclosure with it working.

That's a good idea. I used one of those for my frogs. The bad thing about them, I feel, they don't last long. Mine had to have the exact amount of water, not to high, not to low or it wouldn't work right. The easiest and probably cheaper way is to just add a humidifier. I like the effect of the foggers though.

This was much cheaper then a humidifier. And it fits in the enclosure. I havent had any problems with it not working right.

Very good idea. Thanks for sharing the video. I do miss having babies.

Your welcome. It helps me a lot. Just wanted others to benefit as well! Total cost was less then $20.

The link works nicely, thanks for sharing Lori.

Last time, I also want to use that type of fogger too, but then I cancel buying it because the one sold in my country always gets some fancy color leds on it. I doubt my torts will like it during night time.

those are nice but you got to be careful and use only distilled water in those or the minerals in the water will accumulate and render it inoperable in a few weeks.
