Hey Tegu owners, I wanted to get some info on the Monsoon mister, Is it as great as it looks? seems to have good reviews. I'm thinking about ordering one and wanted to see what you guys think.
Thanks,

My tegu thought it was the devil for a while but he's getting used to it and the improved humidity is doing wonders for his sheds and activity level. I have a 6x3 cage with topsoil as the substrate - it keeps the soil through about half the cage damp and the humidity levels stay at about 70%. It takes a bit of experimentation to get the timing right - basically keeping the soil damp without soaking it. I have mine on a sensor that tries to keep the humidity at about 80% but in practice I can't get the humidity that high during the day. I believe that is more of an issue of cage construction than the mister though.
I also love the mister because it has allowed me to make a fairly naturalistic setup - half the cage is covered in moss and various plants and the mister does a great job of keeping them alive without much care on my part.
I've used mine for about 3 months - would definitely recommend from my experience so far.
