Mistking

How many nozzles per enclosure do you guys use? I only have one in mine rn but was considering putting another in just so I can get more mist in different parts of the cage. Thanks!

I am going to use two singles and one double for a total of four. The enclosure is massive though, at roughly 24x48x48.

Are you going to place them in corners and one in the center? The one I have does a good job misting just leaves a few places completely dry. Am not sure how beneficial one other nozzle would be for my 48x24x24

I am going to place all three in corners. My idea is to create a humidity/moisture/temperature gradient across the cage. One side will have three nozzles (the double and a single) and there will be another single nozzle on the other end of the cage. The side of the cage that has the heat lamp will get one nozzle, while the side that doesn't will get three. This makes the area with the lamp hotter and drier, and the area on the other side colder and wetter. From what I have read, thermoregulation is made easier when there are gradients like that.

Ahh ok that makes sense! Wish I had the space for thay large of an enclosure!!

I think you should be fine with one or two nozzles in a cage the size of the one you have. I bought the large Dragon Strand Clearside Atrium so I had to beef up the misting system and lights quite a bit. I hope my sambava will appreciate it. He's slightly grouchy.
