...drainage. The temperatures are those indicated in the chameleon breeding sheets. Do you think this arrangement is okay? If I spray distilled water in the morning and evening, will it be enough? I read that many spray during the night, should I buy an automatic sprayer for the night or is...

...supervised sunshine time to get some UVB as well while you are waiting for the right lights. 3. I use RO water, I know others use distilled water too. Tap water will have lots of minerals and other gunk in there and it will clog up your misting and fog system really fast. Unfortunately I...

The same. I will buy the distilled water after work today. I guess I could have just done that before even mentioning it. 😂

I think is a good issue to examine. What do you think that is This is a good start. What is growing in there? Is it dangerous? What would be dangerous if it was growing in there? Any humid or submersed/wet surface is going to grow stuff. That includes our misters. I think this might represent...

Most drinking water (not spring water) sold in gallon jugs in stores is RO water. I used to use only distilled in my misting systems but with the recent shortages I have been running a mix of distilled and RO gallons. I have had no visible build up on the nozzles so far after a year of use.

...basking 9:00 am until 9 pm) and then a second time right before or after the basking light comes off. I used a misting bottle with distilled water and spray him as well (he does not mind). I think I will only start doing it at night for now as I’ve noticed it takes a while for humidity to go...

...One must have rolled down underneath one of my plastic containers but I found it the next day. I also got vermiculite, soaked in distilled water and rung it out then transferred all the eggs to the vermiculite. Whether or not they are fertile I am definitely more confident and prepared for...

I use distilled water in all my foggers/humidifiers. Tap water that has sat 24hrs uncapped will also work.

I love the look of that acrylic enclosure but I wonder how hard it is to keep that acrylic spot free or free of scratches. I’m sure RO or distilled water helps keep mineral spots to a minimum. Maybe some vinegar water on a soft cloth once in a while?

Question about foggers, since I'm not super sciencey - will distilled water even work in them? I thought that foggers had to have some sort of particles in the water for the electricity to work in them so it can aerosolize the liquid into a fog/mist. I had a DIY mini fogger for a while that...

Yeah I have always used distilled water in my misters , I don't have easy access to ro, ( unless I put a system in , I have my own distiller at home which wasn't expensive, ( it depends on how easy access you have to it vs electric and time to wait on it distilled, I worked out £25 for 30...

To be honest never used it before was just thinking about adding it to dripper water, as I always used tap water in it and distilled in my mister ( as for my turtle I use seachem )

Hi and welcome to the forum. :) Hopefully I’ll be able to answer your questions well. It’s best to use at least a thermometer/hygrometer with a probe end which is used to measure basking temps. Many of us also use the temp guns too, just to double check. I’m afraid I have to admit I haven’t...

Thanks for the reply’s I can’t get RO water so think I will opt for distilled it’s easy to obtain and reasonably priced

Well I do use distilled and keep the lid on. Can’t be any fresher than that. The distilled is $1.00 a gallon and doesn’t leave chalky residue on my leaves

Most keep the uvb on the diagonal to cover a wider swath of area. It does sound like it’s much too close though. Most definitely, if you can cut and screen over the enclosure top, that is ideal. For supplements, you want to use a phosphorus-free calcium without D3, lightly dusted at every...

You can also look into DI water. Its sometimes alot cheaper than distilled, even though its basically the same product, just s different method.

Wow. It takes a lot of time to make distilled water. I was just at Wallyworld and just for curiosity’s sake took a peek at the water aisle. The shelf for distilled water is completely bare.

Well my distiller is working well. Problem is I spend 2-3 days a week for 8 hours making distilled water! It is time consuming!

I just use tap water that I’ve let sit out for a while, but it runs through all the plants in there too. Also the color of the hydrangea could change based on the pH level of the soil. I did miracle grow on it a couple times and it started turning pink😂 Maybe I’ll have to buy another hydrangea...
