Gold dust. Can a reptifogger work?

I am planning on getting a pair (2) gold dust day geckos in anatural 18x18x24 inch tall tank. Would the reptifogger provide the right humidity and give droplets for drinking? And what live Plant should I use for them? I want to get a live Plant and maybe some fake ones.

I'm sure it would be fine, but there are poor reviews as some of them seem to break easily. I would recommend getting a normal house humidifier (cool mist) and rigging up a tube to supply the fog where you want it. They are more dependable and about the same price- just get tubing from a hardware store and after a little duct-tape you should be set. Let me know if any other ?s. Mine produces condensate on the top of the cage that can supply drinking water.

Ok. So if I was to use a reptifogger, would I leave it on constantly, or what should be the intervals before it mists again and for how long? Also, I may not use reptifogger because of the price, and like you mentioned, the quality, so what would you reccommend I use instead of the ReptiFogger, that will cost less and is more reliable, and are there any guides on the internet that teach how that could be done with a house humidifier with cool mist. Thanks.

There are some YouTube videos of finished products, but there are no step by step guides that I know of. I may actually be putting one together soon in my spare time-but I'll try to post pictures when I get home today.

You will need a humidifier, pvc tubing, and a timer plug if you want to have it automated. I plug my lights into the same timer. This way the lights and fog run at the same time and the cage does not get too wet or too dry-the lights dry up most excess condensation in the bottom of the tank.

This will take some trial and error depending upon your tank size/light positioning. It took me a few days to find a good setting on the humidifier as well.

So I can never upload pictures to this site for some reason but I put up a few on my gecko instagram- search [MENTION=17549]Cricket[/MENTION]sandchill and it's a recent post. Lmk if you need more details, but a lot of it depends on where you are putting things around the house. Cheers!
