Ive talked with respiratory therapists and they also recommended not using mineral or tap water because the ultrasonic humidifiers actually aerosolizes everything in the water including the minerals, chemicals, etc. Therefore, if one uses the tap/mineral water your animal is breathing in the aerosolized minerals very unnatural and unsafe.
@@AnimalsatHomePodcasto you really think using distilled water is necessary in a fogger? I’m genuinely curious if you’ve found anything on this because I cannot. Thank you so much 😊
@@samarabevin hi Samara, yes, personally I think it is necessary. If you use regular tapwater, you will notice sediment buildup in the tubing as well as on the actually ultrasonic disc itself which will eventually cause problems. Not to mentioned the aerosolization issue mentioned above. I would stick with distilled or RO if you can!
Great stuff. Definitely going to put this together for my BRB. I get a strange kick when I can put something like this together without having to pay hobby prices.
Awesome and informative video as always.I was having trouble maintaining humidity in my JCP enclosure despite putting more damp sphagnum moss in but I did notice since I put a larger water dish in it has definitely helped. As always though, misting seems to be the most reliable way to bump it up when I need to!
I don't have an animal that needs high humidity yet but this is still a super awesome video that makes me a lot less nervous about getting an animal that would need high humidity. I also liked your comment about misting which I do lightly every week or two with my uromastyx and leopard geckos. Its not required at all with these species but I find it does help their sheds quite a bit.
Yeah, for some reason some people are totally against misting 🤔 I think misting is perfectly okay provided things dry out between misting sessions! Thanks for watching!
In central Texas, during the cooler months, the ambient RH in my house will routinely be in the 20s. Annoying for humans. Not good for a Leo. My hand misting was not cutting it. Plus his enclosure is 36W x 18D so lots of top area for evaporation. I got a couple of hand towels, soaked them, wrung them out and place them on the top screen (while leaving some uncovered area) and the RH went from upper 20s to upper 30s. I re-wet a couple of times a week until we're out of the cold temps.
Thank you!! My heat lamp for my ball python's enclosure wipes out humidity to the point spraying it barely helps. So, I bought a humidifier before I watched this, and some plastic tubing, stupid me didn't think of fittings or to use silicone to seal around the fittings. It's got such an awkward nozzle on the top of the humidifier. The reptile brands can be super overrated sometimes, so I'm glad someone else had a similar idea.
Good video; You've hit my trifecta: 1. Stickin' it to the man with diy, 2. Clear explanation, 3. Staying on point and not making video pointlessly long with unnecessary babble.
good info.. my Northern White Lipped python enclosure is at no less than 70% humidity with fine sprayer & substrate, checked a.m. & p.m./as needed -thought he'd need a fogger; apparently in his current setup I don't.. (have more prob' keeping heat but he's doing 'adequate' & a bit better. New build will resolve all that) ___ Can you have multiple hoses from one ultrasonic humidifier on the same timer for separate same-size enclosures for reptiles with the same needs? ___ Have you seen/used the floating ultrasonic diaphragm (fogger) units? less expensive but definitely more work involved. parts easily found on eBay.
Thank you for watching the video! Yep, I don’t see why you couldn’t have multiple hose is coming off of a single humidifier. I think that would work just fine. I have seen those floating ultrasonic humidifier’s before, but honestly I think they might be more work than they’re worth!
@@AnimalsatHomePodcast Your easy-disconnect attachment made me think of drilling/ gently Dremel'ing multiple outlet O-ringed threaded couplings into the humidifier housing; each having their own line from the unit. Thanks for the reply. I just cc'd this on a FB ball python page & responses were well received..
I have a huge tank with a solid screen cover. How do you set up the house to feed into the tank? Right now I have it laying in top with a blanket over it to force the mist into the tank.
I know this is old but these diy vids are always relevant. The most annoying thing with these is that the hole the mist comes out of is never round so you can't get a proper seal. Walgreens no longer sells the one they made that had an oval opening close enough to a circle that you could use ptfe tape to create that seal and rig pvc fittings to it solving the hose issue. However, with the availability of 3D printers someone should be able to commission a 3D printed adapter that plugs into the humidifier on one end and slip fits into some pvc on the other end. If either of my humidifiers die in the future my friend that has a 3D printer already said hed do it for me.
Not fogging (spraying and intending on adding cypress mulch to hide) but really having issues with humidity in turn poor shedding. this video was just what i needed an explaination about how it actually works and i have been more focused on my humidity in day time than nite time, so u really given me food for thought and something to try. I have 2 tegus humidity is recommened 70-90% so i been tryin to hit 85 is my ideal. Any advice would b greatly welcomed :) and i defo intend on watching ur podcast about foggers/ humidity.
Fogging and cypress will go a long way! You could also you sphagnum moss, that usually helps a ton. I also use a humidifier in my reptile room to raise the overall room level! Hope that helps, thanks for watching 😀
Have you thought of looking into a mist king system for the day time. Honestly alot of Zoos use them i have one thats going into my iguana cage upgrade.
i have a hatchling redfoot tortoise in a 40 gallon tank. she needs humidity 60%-85%. i’ve been struggling to keep the humidity up because of the heat lamp. the substrate is top soil mixed with sphagnum moss. do you have any advice on keeping the humidity up during the day? i’m going to get a repti-rain by zoomed for the nighttime. great video btw!
Yes, the heat lamp can definitely make it difficult to maintain humidity. What kind of enclosure is it in? My thought would be to reduce ventilation, also live plants would help!
Animals at Home it’s a 40 gallon tank, with paper on the sides. today i added three more plants. so far nothing, but i hope as they grow in it will increase. i’ve considered putting plastic on parts of the screen top but i’m worried i’ll put too much and the air will become stagnant and cause mold and stuff😅
@@remexotics1613 I put insulation on the back & side of my glass tank; it helped a lot..& for now have under-tank heating pad. also: I have a hinged top on a 37g that folds like 2 squares (vs long hinge). Went to local hardware store: got 2 pcs roughly 13"x13" plexi, one piece kept square ot cover 1/2 the tank, the other cut in 1/2, then about 4" & a 1" strip. I got a short roll of adhesive velcro; and cut into 1/2" pieces; put on top of the screen rim outside; creating a few mm gap all around. I can lift off 1-2 of the smaller plexi pieces as needed; been doing theis for months, no mold issues to fine coir & cypress substrate. I turn over substrate about every 2 weeks for any misting that's settled. (unpacking the tank at the time).MUCH more stable humidity & heat ever since..
Thus far I have been using my fogger attacked to a humidity controller. It only pumps a tiny bit of fog, just enough to raise the humidity if it starts to drop below my low point threshold. I use a misting system a cycle. It goes off just as night hits to drop the temperature a bit and spike the humidity for night. I will add as well, that my gecko is never at the bottom of the terrarium where the fog actually rolls. The deep heat projector I have basically evaporates it pretty quick. Would you suggest not even using it in this sort of scenario?
Another way that works is using a hole saw on the top of the humidifier. Then get weather stripping tape and wrap the end of the tube and shove through the hole. Weather stripping seals it. Your way looks nicer in the end though and I might try that next time. Thanks for the idea.
My daughter got a crested gecko for Christmas and I ordered the exoterra snake bowl, a mini fogger, and a repeat timer so it will come on for 15 minutes every evening. Should I have any concerns? I was going to put it at the bottom of the tank and was hoping this would help if we ever have to have someone else care for him for a few days.
Hello Sir, I have a question. My enclosure is 63"x32"x47" so it's quite large and houses 1.2 Thamnophis Sirtalis Flame. If I let the fog enter at the bottom of the enclosure would it be possible to use the fogger a couple of times during day time (20 minutes every 2 hours or so) ? Or would you recomend not and still only do it at night? Thank You.
Because a lot of youtubers encourage rainbow boa owners to get a fogger. Are you meaning it is unsafe to have the fogger on constantly or would it be okay to have it on an inkbird humidity controller? Thanks!
If you used it with an ink bird humidity controller that would not be a problem, but remember it is still really important to have proper ventilation. You don’t want the missed building up into the enclosure. So as long as the fog can flow out of the enclosure, you will be fine!
What if you drilled a quarter-inch hole in the top of the water tank and glued on a small funnel? Then you wouldn't have to remove and invert the tank for filling every time except for cleaning purposes. Add a rubber stopper to seal the hole. Just an idea. Thanks for the informative video!
I will depend on your climate/natural humidity for where you live. You’ll have to play around with it. Just ensure you’re using plenty of ventilation 👍🏼
You can try it... but I assume the fog will collect at the ground level which is not ideal. If you try is and the fog flows out of the vents at the bottom, then you are good to go. If not, you may need to add a small PC fan or something to promote circulation while the fogger is running
Very cool video and good creativity and gadgetry skills. But can we not claim this is about saving money? It indicates a misunderstanding of time value, cost and money. By all means, build your fogger if you enjoy it. But you are spending more money to do it. Even if you subtract your time, the savings is minimal. Honeywell Humidifier = $34.99 Tube of Bathroom Caulk = $4 Caulk Gun = $5 Tubing and fittings = $8 1.5 hours of your time at minimum wage of Target = $22 TOTAL = $73.99 REPTI ZOO Reptile Automatic Fogger with Humidity Gauge, Timer and On/Off based on humidity level = $69.99 By the way, still appreciate the channel and tips on how to build and take care of your reptiles or amphibians.
Thanks for watching! That is generally what tell people, i.e. "DIY is not necessarily going to save you money, you should only tackle DIY projects if you really enjoy building." However, I think it really depends on the individual situation. If someone has more money than time (like you or me, for example) they are probably happy to spend the extra $20-30 dollars on the store-bought item. However, if you are someone who has more time than money (like a teenager for example), they would certainly appreciate spending less money and could care less if they spend an entire day building something haha! That's just my opinion. Also, something to note- The REPTIZOO Fogger is $104.95 in Canada, when you had 15% sales tax (i.e. the tax rate in most of the provinces) that is about $120 ($93 USD). So quite a significant saving if you are someone short on cash.
I’ve had this set up running for a full year without any issues. And I had a similar set up running for two years before that. On both occasions they were operated using a outlet timer to come on periodically through the day/night. If you are keen on improving reptile care/husbandry you’ll have to check out the podcast.
