I take it your wanting to install the hose directly into the tank. In that case any screen could be wrapped around the open end.

I just sit mine on top of the screen lid.

I would think to just put a screen lid on it. But then again I'm in the process of making my own. I have a question also, Can you just fog one tank and have multiple foggers or do you use one and move the hose around?

I use 1 Fogger and just move the hose around..I guess that if money is no object then you can get multiple Humidifiers and have each on its own timer. It wouldn't be that hard to rig up a mutiple outlet so one unit could fog several tanks. Might make rearranging more difficult.

Compared to the price of the Commercial Units I have seen..you can do a 2 for one or even a 3 for 1 price Equivilant..I saw a small 1 liter Commercial one being advertised for around 69.00 so I could have purchased 3 of the units and ran 3 independant schedules..

Can misting leopard geckos have any ill effects?

nice design and good DIY. Instead of a timer you could also use a humidistat so the system will maintain a specific humidity.

If you over mist constantly yes it can.

Are there any good relatively inexpensive humidistats, that would work great for this design.

I am curious, what humidity level are you trying to achieve?

big · #19 11-15-2009, 06:47 PM

I dont want it to drop below 60%

his is the best I could find posted online

"Leopard geckos require a humidity of 40-60% for proper shedding. If the humidity is low, place moist peat moss in a hide box made from plastic or Tupperware box, with a small entry hole. Mist the peat periodically to keep it moist.""

Why not have the Range?

My room stays between 45 and 65% without a Humidifier
