Humidity

So like I said nothing fancy, if you spent more time could probably make it nicer.

So first you need to find a cool mist humidifier, preferably one with a round adapter that you can fit with a PVC fitting. All you are looking for is the ability to put a tube on it to direct the humidity. I got this one at walgreens for about $40.

the nozzle in front is what came in it, and you can see i found a pvc adapter to replace it, then sealed it with silicon. The hose is then put into a piece that either fits tightly in place so that mist doesnt leak out. It is important to be able to remove the tube to fill up the humidifier then put it back. This one is a screw in which is a pain, my other one just fits tightly which is easier to remove. Once again silicon the tube to prevent mist escaping.

So, once you run the tube into the cage you can just be done there, what I did was ran the tube along the length of the tank and drilled holes into so that it would spread mist throughout the length of the cage, and then at the end of the tube, which is roughly over the basking spot, i put an adapter to direct the mist down, not really necessary but its an idea. You could probably do a better job attaching the tube to the top of the tank, but I got lazy.

Some things to watch for is, if the holes in the tube are to small they will clog with water and wont let mist out, also this thing will drip quite a bit where ever it sags, which hasn't been an issue for me but could be depending on your setup, also if the tube gets blocked with water will prevent it from working.
This is great:cool:
