Mist Systems in smaller vivs.

[Saurian]

Any of you guys ever used a auto mister like mist king in a small viv like like a exo terra 12x12x18? Trying to set it up for they enclosures get misted if I am gone for a few days. It worked pretty well in the larger vivs and I wanted the smaller one to be included but even with a valve attached to the tubing before it entered the enclosure it still got a bit to wet for mine and the gecko's liking. Thanks for any input.

All of my A. felinus are housed in 12 x 12 x 18 enclosures with a Mistking system on all of them.
With a good timer (like the one they sell on mistking), you can have it run for just a few seconds at a time.
So it shouldn't be too wet. Just do it for less seconds of misting a few times per day.

hey there

I have a mistking setup and don't have issues in my 12x12x18 either. The mistking is connected to a 100 gallon terrarium as well, which made it a bit tricky to keep the humidity at the same level considering they run off the same timer and pump.

You could wire up a small pc fan to an adaptor and put it on the screen. set it on a timer to go in intervals and draw the wet air out of the vivarium as required.

Additionally, I use more nozzles on my larger enclosures and only one for the 12x12x18. set to 20-30 seconds.
