1 Gallon Reptile Humidifier Fogger for Terrariums, Adjustable Fog Volume, Ideal for Bearded Dragons, Lizards, Geckos, Snakes, Tortoises, Amphibians Humidity Increasing

Nice looking, safe, and effective accessory to a herp setup.
Simple sonicators that are little more than a vibrating electrified disc made to be put in a small bowl have been available for some time but the potential danger of putting a sonicating bath right in the enclosure has not, to my knowledge, been formally addressed. With an eye towards getting the sonicator out of the enclosure, I’ve been converting cool mist humidifiers to foggers for a while now, so I was curious how an off the shelf system would compare and what special modifications may have been made to make them especially suite do for reptiles and amphibians.The answer, at least for this unit, is that it is very similar.The main difference from my DIY jobbers is probably that this sleek appliance is very nice looking. It’s also affordable and, pretty much plug and play. I think it’s a good value.Because it has neither timer nor humidistat built in, it should be best combined with a timer and monitored for a while to get a schedule that is reproduceable, works for your enclosure, and for the critters within it.I find that fogging mid morning, and mid afternoon, for as long as it takes to raise the humidity to the level desired works well. Your mileage may vary, as they say, and it will depend on your living things, the enclosure, and other heaters and lights that you may use, and what the ambient conditions of your house are like.A simple humidity meter may be helpful in this regard, though often other indicators such as condensation on the glass, may be sufficient.With regard to the rippled flexible tubing that connects the fogger to the enclosure, it measures only three feet long, which is too bad because the fan in the fogger is able to lift the fog much higher. I prefer to have the fogger at ground level and the enclosure at eye level.I found that 6 to 8 foot lengths of CPAP tubing, available at Amazon for as little as ten dollars, work just as well as the included tube and give me the extra length I desire. They fit around the fogger collar rather than inside it, forming a nice tight junction. Either diameter, 22mm standard, or 15mm slim, is equally effective. The fogger manufacturer notes that care should be taken to avoid low points in the tubing where condensation might gather and cause an airlock. That would apply to the CPAP tubing, or any other, as well.

struggles to get humidity above 60% in my snakes enclosure
It having a gallon tank is cool, however it is struggling to keep the humidity in my python’s enclosure. it has a floor area listed, but that doesn’t tell me how big of an enclosure it can handle and up to what humidity it can handle. The good noise is that it is quiet, and can at least keep the humidity in safe enough range until I get something better in.

Works fine – not very many adjustment levels and tube is shortish
As foggers go, it’s a decent fogger. It definitely makes a cool fog (temperature wise).It holds a large volume of water compared to most other foggers on the market.A few things I found annoying when comparing to my other fogger (coospider brand).- the water tank is not removable. You must unplug the unit and haul it all to the sink or haul water to the unit in another container. That’s fine if you use bottled distilled water but tbh I always just use tap water.- the tube is pretty short and NOT adjustable in length. The water tank can sit on the same level of the cage base and the tube will stretch to the top of a 4’ cage (often used for chameleons) but only to top edge – you won’t have enough tube to position it so the fog flows down from the top. It will flow from the side – not ideal. If you want it to flow down, you’ll need to raise the base or use a shorter enclosure. On the other hand, if you don’t need as much tubing as provided, you don’t have the option to collapse it accordion-style like competing brand tubing. Extra tubing length can sag and allow water to collect in the sagging section – stopping fog flow.- The power cord is also relatively short, limiting your freedom to position the base where you want it.- fog level adjustment is noticeably more restricted than what I’m used to, especially at the low end. If you don’t need much flow, you will be stuck with probably way more than you need, causing issues in your tank and faster use of the water in the reservoir.- fog movement is more straight-lined than billowy/swirling. It makes a difference if you position the fog coming in from the side instead if top. In my mesh screen enclosure, most if the fog will just go through the screen on the opposite side and right out past the cage.Overall I think it’s competitive with many of the brands, but for the price range, there is a clear winning competitor.
