Cheap & easy reptile fogger
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- I wanted to make this video for others that are trying to find an easy and cheap way to get a fogger for tropical reptiles. Keeping reptiles in generally not a cheap hobby. So if you want to be a reptile person, don't expect things to be cheap! and it can also be a lot of work. Its also very important to not get the cage to wet!!! having the cage to wet can be bad for the snake/lizard and may cause a respiratory infection.
Link to fogger: www.amazon.com...
this can also help birds with respiratory issues which is what I need it for. birds who are struggling to breath need to be placed in a room with as much mist/humidity/steam as possible for 30 mins to save their lives, it really helps them breath better. thanks, I will make a unit up using your idea and see how it goes.
Just went through my 4th fogger in 1 1/2 yrs. Sooo done with them. This is my next move. Thank you!!!
Nice video. I am away from home for days at a time for work. I'm thinking of experimenting with this for 'watering' some small indoor plants using a timer while I'm away.
Our little crestie, Sauron, loved this. He would just stare at the lights and sit next to it. Whatever brand i had picked up only lasted about a month though. (I dug it out of our halloween decorations)
Thank you for sharing this idea, hopefully help keep humidity for red foots at less expense
I love this idea, much cheaper than buying a fogger. Just trying to figure out how you set up your cage with the fogger on the branches. I'm getting that same cage for a frilled lizard I'm getting soon.
So there will be a little whole at the top of the cage that you can slide the cord through. That way you can hide it and make it look nice. Oh that's awesome! frilled dragons are cool!
Great demo for for acoustic humidifiers. Incredibly effective for vivarium setups, appreciate the upload!
Thanks so much!! You saved me and a friend a lot of money!!!
No problem my friend! ;)
Until today arrived to my home. As soon as I test it you will know. Thanks for ask! Regards!!
Hello dear i live in Canada whats thé name of the electric small object yu put in water?
Do you have a link for the product??
This is way cool I would like to order this and so what if it doesn't look cool I would rather go with having a good and healthy rather than if it looks good. Thanks so much for the great money saver, really enjoyed your video.
Just bought it after seeing this!! Thank You!!!
Thank you for such an awesome cash saving tip! I need to order half a dozen of these for the tanks that I've been hand misting every day.
Thanks for this. It’s gonna look awesome in my rough green snakes cage! Update: Just got it. Looks amazing!
Where did you get your rough green snakes????
@@skullxer I got one from snakes at sunset. They’re great but I think they are sold out of rough green snakes.
@@brodypenn ok, thanks for letting me know
This seems like overkill especially for lizards that only need 70 to 90% humidity and this keeps it at close to 100% almost all the time. It completely soaked your tank and leaves in 2 minutes. Seems like this would cause wide scale mold and mildew growth as opposed to less finer and overwhelming misters. Just my thoughts, anyway.
I am using one of those as a driver board for a disc. I made sure it has a bare metal probe.
Great demo in the actual cage, looks like Yakushima in Japan!
I like this idea. Thanks so much.
Why are things so cheap in America. That same 10 bucks fogger is £40 in the UK. Which is $52!!!!!! Like wtf
Got mine off e-bay from -Yes China 4/5 quid-free postage -takes 2-3 weeks though .
www.amazon.co.uk/Ultrasonic-Maker-Fountain-Atomizer-Humidifier/dp/B00MYOCGNE
Exact one in first half of the video for UK. You're searching for a sonic mister / fogger. Exoterra does ones for like £30+ but they're rip off just buy a cheap copy.
oXketarouXo I have to be honest. Reptile merchandise is all a rip off.
You know that ''big dripper'' Thing?
It's literally just a plastic box with a hole cut in the bottom to put a valve in.
And it sells for 10-15 pound.
For a piece of plastic
But yea i'll look into the cheap fogger
Yea I found the big dripper in a clearance shop and have one but also found similar products in pound land and B&M only missing a bit of tubing which isn't hard to put into it.
Other option I've found besides the fogger is using a cheap waterpump to pump water from a container through tubing and through a sprayer but its only worth the hassle for animals requiring loads of water tbh.
oXketarouXo Like a water dragon?
You're the best! You save me $18.
What’s it called?
You've convinced me, Morty! Thanks for the tips.
You are AWESOME!!! Thank you so much!!!
went up 8 bucks in 4 years.
good job, btw
Hey man, I have 2 large enclosures they are 3 ft long, 2 ft deep and about 5 ft tall, I need humidity levels in them up into the 70% range would one of these work for something that size?
Going to give this a shot but I'm adding a Relative Humidity Switch Module Sensor Controller Transducer so I can set the humidity level and I don't have to worry about it going to high.
How would I set that up?
@@lymariguadalupe2871 inkbird sells ones that look like a surge protector, and lets you set the humidity for each plug. It’s literally plug and play
@@jendubay3782 thanks :)
Brilliant video! Thanks, man.
I would add a note to NOT plug the unit into the wall while not submerged in water. (Despite having a water sensor.)
It will ruin the atomize quite quickly.
Todd So then what's the point of it automatically turning off on its own without water?
MostWanted GAMA Yeah it's just fine if it's plugged in and not in the water, it is meant to do that. As you can see in the video when I cover my fingers over the sensors and it would go off, but when I would release my fingers then it would turn off.
I HAVE THE SAME LED FOGGER WITH THE LIGHTS OFF OF AMAZON!
I love it and so do my ball pythons! :)
Cinnamon Holt Nice! Thanks for watching
Cinnamon Holt if you have a fogger do you still need a mister aswell
For ball pythons?
If you have a fogger, you don't necessarily need a mister.
You dont want it to be too wet/humid for balls. It could cause scale rot.
Cinnamon Holt Yes exactly!
Cinnamon Holt I forgot to put for veiled chameleons
Be careful with these units because it has a slight electrical current (touch the circular part on top) this could zap your small critters.
I’ve set one up in the bottom of mine and I have problems with the fog spreading across the cage and the fogger it’s self spits water out of the top of the lid I have for the container
What's the name of the fogger u used if I search amazon?
I had this idea a couple years ago. Was so excited. Then it "bit" me. I say "bit" bc that's exactly what it felt like. Needless to say I abandoned that project.
*Side note: mine was not going to be used solely to boost humidity. I wanted to put it in my Chinese Water Dragons pool area. Planned to build a special section into his pool to house the fogger. Bc I mean come on now.....how frigging cool would it be to have your CWD's pool mist and shine with rainbow lights right? Definitely gonna be the coolest CWD in the neighborhood. Lol. Talk about shattered dreams. Couldn't risk something going wrong and zapping my scaly dude stupid. He's way to amazing for that.
Thanks Dude, really saved me some money - My Magic Mushrooms Thank You!
Lol that’s why I’m here too
Nice!
Super reasonable, nice light effect.
Really a great video. You may want to add a link to the item on Amazon. (I found it pretty easy, but if you add the link, it's pretty much a slam dunk.
that worked great
Using that size container for water and say do a 4 cycle daily routine how long would it last? I’ll bet running a hose or something to it to refill would also be more convenient
Thanks for the video.
I wonder if i could place in in the water in my paludarium.
Had the same idea but had been looking at other DIY misters on youtube to see if I should bother with one of those instead.
Think I'll definitely go with the sonic mist maker / fogger now as it should add the humidity I need and they are cheap.
Could possibly have shown the humidity change if you had a sensor?
Either way thanks for the video really helped me make up my mind, your enclosure looks great btw.
Thanks! glad I could help.
Just got my iquanas needed to find this thanks. Question ... Are those real leaves and is the top of your cage glass or mesh screen
They're ultrasonic foggers/misters. I make my own system using these except I route them into multiple tanks with smurf tube.
Don't waste your money on any of the misting systems at pet stores. They're extremely over priced and break down after a couple months of use, even with RO water.
I'm trying to decide if the custom enclosure I'm about to build should be glass or screen..wouldn't glass retain the moisture better hence b making the environment more realistic..if a fogger or mist goes off..won't that moisture evaporate..which is better?..which will provide a better habitat humidity wise..glass or screen..how crucial is the difference?
Awesome, saved me 💰
Thaannnkkkk you sooo much for this
Tks for sharing it mate
Wicked smart! Thank you!
Can you put this straight into the water in bottom of tank or would this harm the fish?
Great idea!!!!! How long can you keep it running? Do you need to let it rest or can you keep it running for hours without rest?
Thanks for the video. I've been looking around for a inexpensive way to keep the humidity up for my snakes :)
Yeah no problem! Thanks for watching!!
these create water vapor which is cool and makes things wet. not good for a snake that needs actual humidity
Brandon Yafanaro It's basically the same stuff that spews out of a Repti Fogger except it's not 60 bucks and doesn't break within a couple months
Just need an adapter part because my water dragon chewed up the other one I had he thought it was food. His main humidifier just broke I can't mist him 12 -15 times a day.
Holy shit, that's a lotta fog!
Hi. I touched the atomizer while this was operating. It stopped and won't start again. Do you think I broke it?
Cool! I need 3 of those. Because there isn’t space for a moist hide in my 10gal tanks of my two leopard geckos
Nice vivarium. How long can tht water in the tub last before the fogger cuts off?
Hello, I’m planning a frog tank. Do you think the digger would still work well if I put some sort of cover on it… like netting?
Thx man god bless
Does this work well with ice water? I'm trying to figure out how to bring temp down without sacrificing humidity
Lower wattage bulb? Lower power on heat mat..? lol
@@stfuandLiftBtCh it was a snail tank, so no heating elements at all. I don't have them anymore though.
Sweet video man!
Olá, meu amigo eu queria saber que aparelho é esse?
Desculpe se você citou ele no video mas não entendo inglês muito bem.
Hello, my friend I wanted to know what device is this?
Sorry if you quoted him in the video but do not understand English very well.
I bought this for my tortoise and it spits water everywhere. I’m now trying to figure out how to stop the water from getting all over. The spitting has caused my cypress mulch to mildew 😢. If anyone has any ideas about this little issue. Please feel free to let me know
Cherry Lynn fill it with less water or bigger bowl 😂
Put a funnel on top of it
Seems to be a good mister but would presumably not be ideal used as a nebuliser for a sick snake as concentration/dosage might be less precise?
Would this work with a GTP? Especially as they prefer (generally) to drink from suspended pools? Or would it be better if set in a water bowl on the base of the cage?
awesome!!!!
I hear these are not safe for your reptile is that true..
If my snake were to drink from this bowl with that in it would anything happen? because I would love to buy one of these but I want to make sure I don't hurt my python if she wants to drink from it.
Would something like this be ok for whites tree frogs? I'm having some trouble keeping their humidity consistent. Would this make it too high?
This is really cool do you have a link to the led lighted one?
200ml per hour. Do i have to keep filling it up...
Do I need to place it high so that my snake will not get into it? Or will it be okay to just set inside of his terrarium, I love the Idea, just afraid of him getting harmed by it.
Sorry for the late response! Yeah, I haven't heard or personally had an issue with it. But I wouldn't recommend letting your snake or lizard soak in it just in case. Thanks for watching!
Hey bro I wanted to know is it supposed to run intermittently? Mines running and then shutting off running and then shutting off. I just got it in the mail.
Hey sorry for the really late reply! Yes it is supposed to do that, it helps it so the water doesn't run out as fast. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!
Catch It lol. I wondered. Thanks.
How do you tell when your humidity is just right?
Does it make the water hot?
can I put a lid on the container make a hole and run tubes from the container to the tank. will the fog make it to the tank
I've tried it, but it doesn't seem to be strong enough. :(
Can you put the mist maker in the snakes water bowl or is that danger?
Vanessa Bacallao I haven't heard of it being a problem, but I would say don't do it. Cause if you stick your finger on the white part of the mister that makes the actual mist it's self it can actually shock you a little bit. But if you just stick your finger in the water it won't shock you, it's just if you hold your finger on the white part of the mister for to long. It's not that bad of a shock at all, but since snakes like to soak in their water bowl, I wouldn't risk it. Cause I don't know if that would hurt the snake in anyway.
But is it safe drinkable water for the animals ?
does this help with humidity levels ? I try to keep mine around 80- 85 , would this help?
Ashley Fernandez yes if not than try two foggers
Idk if you guys have put your hand in the water while the "thing" is running but it electrocuted me. so be careful of that. Last thing you want to do is fry one of your little homies. Maybe put a lid with small holes on the top.
Do the lights have on and off switch?
Hello. Do you know materials of the product, including it's wire? Does it contain PVC?
Kiddo!! OMG THANK YOU!!! LITTLE AUNTIE LIKE KISSES COVER YOUR FOREHEAD!!!!
Do you know the actual humidity is with this fogger?
Hey man can these be placed in a fish tank to give a unique look ???
I need one of those fog maker things like today! Is it any store I can purchase one from?
Hi. Can you provide a link where to by the device please.
Will it work with a mountain horned dragon?
hey. what voltage did u supply and ac or dc :)? how loud is the first one?
A lot of the ones I saw needed a 24V ac adapter but a few had different needs I'd recommend checking the details of the one you purchase
Can someone please comment I just bought one n it came in the mail today n works great but what I needed to know do I let this run all day or if not how many times Aday n how long please someone help
Mikey Bell twice a day. For like 2-3 minutes each time. That's how long they say for a mister
NEVER buy a repti fogger. They last a few weeks and fail. Went through 3 in 2 months and just returned it. F that
How much water does it go through?
How long should you have it on ?
Is this OK for phelsuma
and i just saw the black one with the led lights just ordered itt sooo sick looking in the fog
Yeah I really like that one
i usually never comment or subscribe but i did 👍👍
Anthony attitude92 Thanks man I really appreciate it!
Catch It , love reptiles had a ball python wasnt interested in it much seen amazon tree boas i was hooked not a good first beginner pet but does it really matter people start off with pythons just like dude from snake bytes
Anthony attitude92 I mean as long as you know how to care for it, I don't see any reason why not.
Where I can get that 1 dollar metal things?
will they die if they enter the bowl ??
What is the name of this fogger
The background music...
Can u use that for a crested gecko
can i use this for hermit crabs?
Is it just sitting on that piece of wood?
Yep! :)
If your snake puts its head in the fogger, will it be safe still for them? There's no heat or anything? What about electricity.
No, this is really not a good idea at all. If you place your finger in the point where the fog its made its actually like being burnt.
Chris Johnson I ordered one and I'm going to throw it away. It actually shocks the finger with a bit of electricity. Also it sprays the water too much.
Yeah it's cheap and works but not safe for animals inside tanks. You could make your own enclosure fir it inside a bottle and have a tube carry the mist inside your enclosure
Chris Johnson That sounds like a good idea!
what if it was inside a deep dish like a 2LT that was cut down
How long does that much water last
Not to long.... That is one thing that I don't like about this is that it can run out pretty quick.
Catch It exactly how long
