Best fogger or way to reach high humidity in 40 gallon tank.

[JohnGinnIII]

Hey guys i have been wondering what is the best way to reach 70-80% humidity in my 40 gallon tank for my BW tegu. I bath him daily but I want him to get humidity in his tank as well since it will just make it easier for me in case I do not have time to give him a bath. Due to my busy work schedule. I do mist him every so often, But i wanted to know if anyone had better tips. Also tips on how to keep the humidity high is appreciated to. I taped the screen top on the top and bottom to help seal the humidity.

Hello, was wondering if you figured out a solution.
I am new here and new to Tegus as well... I have a 2 week old BW... in a 75 gallon tank temporarily... I have a reptifogger that I use for humidity and am planning the build for the forever home...
Was just reading thru the forums and seen your post... figured Id ask

They have little pond foggers on amazon for about 10-15$ that's what I use for my tank. Just be careful about how deep you put it into the water as that will control how much water/fog is being putout into the air.

I just bought this for my enclosure and I could not have expected better.

I would say if you're going to build him her a forever home, spend the money upfront and buy a mist king ver 4.0 you can utilize it in both tanks...

Spagnum moss I find works very well - and misting daily, especially the hide

My 16 month old red is in his 3rd and last enclosure measuring 8x4x4. I have very deep mulch, forest bedding and top soil and lots of ferns. I am using the MistKing Ultimate with 3 misters and 3 temp/humidity probes in the enclosure. The Ultimate comes with a timer with 10 possible misting times. I mist every 2.5 hours for about 4 minutes. The humidity is perfect. I recommend this system for any large enclosure. My water reservoir going to the pump is 7 gallons and empties after about 3 days. The smaller foggers’ reservoirs are tiny and need to be filled at least twice daily.
