Digital Timers

[djstorm1987]

I am trying to get my fog on a timer to operate for 15 minutes by every hour since my Chameleon`s cage tends to dry up fast. What digital timers do you guys recommend for this to happen? I purchased a Zoo Med brand Repticare Terrarium timer but it seems that I wont be able to accomplish it as this only works for day/night cycles.

If you only need the fogger to run 15 mins every hour, you don't need a digital one unless that's the only kind you want to use. I get pin timers from harbor freight if u have one around you. They were only 5 bucks last I went and they have four pins for each hour, each for a 15 min setting. Much cheaper than digital

Thanks now is my idea good for raising the fog or should I extend the timing more to perhaps fog for 15 minutes every 2 hours? I just checked and I don`t have a harbor freight close to me I`ll check home depot.

No problem. I would say that is good starting point but every situation/climate will be different. Just watch and play with the settings so to speak until u get the desired humidity. My cages are all wrapped with shower curtain liners helping to keep humidity in and giving privacy. In the summer here this allows me to not use any humidifier/fogger, but in the dry winter I need to run humidifier for 3+ hours or so every 12 , running for 30 mins at a time to achieve my desired humidity.
