I made a fogger from a humidifier. I got the directions from YouTube. Type in reptile fogger and you can find it. I had one by exoterra or one of those brands from the pet store and it was pretty badly made. I use that along with keeping the substrate moist.

thank you so much for the video. Now what type of hygrometers do you use

I use a digital hygrometer. It's either zoo med or zilla... one of the big brands. It has gradient thermometer on it also which is nice. It velcros on to the back of the cage. Works pretty well.

I wound up buying cigar hygrometers because they are much more accurate and only slightly more expensive. The top of my cage is a mesh so keeping humidity up was hard, but after putting a plastic sheet ontop the humidity went way up and was easy to get right.
