Need some advice on keeping my humdity up!

[KingCam]

You're right. My mistake. It was less than 30$ for me because of a sale + coupon.

Darn, I was hoping you knew a way to get a fogger/timer setup for under $30 on any given day :P

Pet Perks card!!

And even at the full price, I think it's worth the money if you can swing it. My life is so much easier without stressing over the enclosure.

One of the greatest combos and its way better than a timer is a Zoo Med Hygrotherm with a Zoo Med Reptifogger hooked up to it. This is what I use and there is no worries.

AGREED! I loooove me some Pet Perks. And its deffo worth the money.

AND! Once I took Grif's great advice and invested in a Reptifogger, it changed the way I took care of Nugget. I was spraying my life away, and then overnight it was twenty times easier. And then I saved up again and found a good enough sale (thanks, Amazon) and got a Hygrotherm. It is a semi costly investment, but I made it slowly and even now have added a ceramic heat emitter (no light, only heat) and the Hygrotherm + Reptifogger + Ceramic heat emitter are like the three musketeers. I still check on Nugget and mist him when he needs a little humidity boost and to give him some extra moisture, but now I can run errands after work without having to literally worry ALL DAY LONG and rush home to make sure Nugget is okay. I would recommend this trio/setup to anyone ten times over- I have never seen Nugget so happy and active (you know, besides pacman frogs being cute lazy lil guys).

Time out. I have the Zoo med Reptifogger, but what is this hygrotherm you speak of. This sounds promising. My timer is working well now, after I spent days staring at my enclosure adjusting the time and setting until I got it just right, but when I upgrade enclosures I'd be interested in this.

Oooo, you are gonna love this. It has a sensor you keep in the tank, that you can set to the temp and humidity levels you'd like it to regulate to. Then you can plug in a heating device on one side (in my case, ceramic heat emitter) and a humidity device (in my case, Reptifogger) on the other. THEN... it will use those devices to keep the tank at the levels you ask it to! AND AND AND, you can arrange for a drop in temp for froggy's nighttime comfort. Also can tell it how many degrees/humidity points you want it to drop or rise before its too far from your setting and needs to adjust again. (Can you tell how much I LOVE this thing?)

I'm happy my reccomendations have paid off for those who took my advice.

As Lopez said, it is a wonderful must have environmental control unit. Helps you not worry while you are away.

Holy **** that's amazing. Must. Get. One.

Amen to that. I am away on weekends semi frequently, and the first time I went away after I got Nugget I did not have these items yet. I literally wrote a book for my parents who were taking care of Nugget while I was gone so they would do nothing wrong (they were great with him anyway, and asked tons of questions before I left because they wanted to do a good job). I am not joking, it was a book, handwritten, about 10 pages long (mostly because I'm nuts). They were great froggy grandparents and all, but let me tell you my mom practically hugged me when I got the Reptifogger/Hygrotherm combo because she was able to relax a little more- and take less check-up-on-Nugget phone calls from me. She said Nugget is the best behaved grandchild she has lol. The others are my sisters' dogs haha

Grif What size UTH would I need for a 10 gallon?

[eric048]

simple, make a false bottom, get a 60w red infrared light, problem solved

[Heatheranne]

That's awesome! Sorry it took so long to type back. Busy week. I'm glad you found a great alternative .

[pansie]

I just bought some plexiglass and cut it to fit inside the ridge in my tanks for my pixie and my pac (covering 3/4) and my humidity is staying WAAAAAY more stable! thanks guys!

[Heatheranne]

Great!

Grif What size UTH would I need for a 10 gallon?

I believe its a 5 x 8 for a 10 gallon. If you get a Zoo Med UTH they say the size of the pad and what size tank they are for.

Hope this helps.
