i bought the tropicair thingy, Worthless. about a litre of water in a spunge doesn't even come with an air pump....worthless. i returned it.
l like the fogger, i used to use a little metal one, but it never worked very well. maybe this one works better since it's more like an ultrasonic humidifier actually it's the same as an ultrasonic humidifier, may as well buy a regular cool mist ultrasonic humidifier and modify it to take a tube on the output, it'd be cheaper and the vicks/storebought one usually has a 2 gallon capacity. much needed for such a large enclosure.
i have heard great things about habba mist. but there is a company that basicly does a sprinkler system from the roof of your enclosure i'll try to find it. _________________ 1.1.0 Arg B/W Tegu Joker n Groxy

I realize this is an older post, but I have another thought for you. At our zoo, we actually use Vicks ultrasonic humidifiers, we put sprinkler pipe into the outlet for the mist and then put the other end of the pipe on top of the mesh of our enclosures. we have to refill them every other day or so, but they are easy to clean, they put out a very fine mist, and you can hook them up to an appliance timer so that they will go on or off when you want them to for a chosen amount of time.
This has worked Very well for all of our humidity loving herps; although some zoo visitors have thought there was smoke in a couple of exhibits!
