Humidifiers

[JIFFYPOP]

So with the summer quickly approaching, I know humidity where I live drops once A/C kicks in. I've seen quite a few humidifiers, online, cool mist and warm mist. I would assume warm mist is probably way to go, but that's why I'm here, lol. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated. I do have a tiny fogger, but doesn't seem to do much except in the corner it sits in. Thanks again.

Warm mist is a no no, your asking for a breading ground for bacteria. Go with a cool mist ultrasonic humidifier.

Awesome, thanks. This is why I love this place so much. I actually "mist" out on a cool mist a week ago. Wish I had known.

I'm very happy with this one for use in one or two cages. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01JYJT1E8/ref=dp_cerb_1

Yes, coolmist only and you use these at night once temps drops. heat from lights + fogging= recipe for a RI.

Your Welcome! Yeah I run mine only from 1am-5am. The cage temp gets as low as it will by then to 67 degrees. I purposely do not run my heat higher then that or his cage stays too warm and does not give him enough of a temp drop.

I purchased a Crane cool mist humidifier. It can be had at Wally World for under $50. Holds a gallon of distilled water which depending on setting will last 12-24hrs. Super easy to clean which is the important part. Gotta gotta gotta keep them clean! I clean mine weekly. I've heard of others doing it 2x per week though.
