Ghetto Fogger

[BWSmith]

OK, everyone knows that I am a cheapo After all, at least once a month I hit the thrift stores looking for deals on herp stuff. That is where I got my automation for all the lights (with remote) and lots of other odds and ends. I came across a great deal yesterday. I found an ultrasonic humidifier for $2.50 But I am not looking to increase humidity in the room, just the arboreal cages. The fog comes out through a hollow tube with a removable cap. So I removed the cap and inserted sealed PVC. A few connectors and some tubing and I have a 3 cage fogger. In all, the whole system probably cost me less than $10.




Thick, cool fog that is easily distributed to various cages. I have the system set up so it pops right out when I have to refill water. One of the Amazons was tring to climb into the fog. He was really digging it. Plus, it is fun to watch.

Great idea, and I bet the snakes love it. Now everyone is going to going out and getting one of those foggers I bet. They aren't that much new either so it shouldn't cost them too much to copy yours.

You might be a redneck if....

Cool idea. never thought you would get fog out that dense. Looks like your puffing smoke in the cage. Would have thought most of the humidity would have condensed in the tubing.

This model runs about $30 at Wal Mart. I was amazed at the desity as well. And don't forget that the amount you see in the pic is just one of 3 outlets, so there really is 3 times that much.

I've thought about doing that, but wrote it off that the condensations wouldn't go through that well. Now i know.

I think you are right that a normal humidifier may have too much condensation. Plus anormal one sends out the fog through vents rather than up a "pipe".

It is a KAZ desktop humidifier. I had to raise the humidity in my far amazon cage tonight. So now I know that i can run the tube over 6 feet and still get a great flow

I bought a SunBeam ultrasonic humidifier for $3 after I seen this and went to Home Depot and got my pipes and fittings total cost $7. Works great and my snakes love it . I am running one pipe about 8 ft. and it works without a problem.

I have done the same thing for my Brazilian Rainbow Boa. It works great for me.

Here is an example. This is a 6'x3'x2' cage after about 15 or 20 minutes.

That's awesome, BW. I did something very similar to that for my JCP's cage a while back. Granted, I could've designed it better, but I liked the way it turned out. It fogged up the cage so well you could barely see anything in it. It was funny to have people ask me if the cage was on fire. "Yes, it's on fire. These snakes come from areas that have frequent forest fires, so they feel more at home around fires."

That's pretty freakin' cool... about how long do you usually leave it on at any one time?
