PacMan Misting question

[dth0829]

Has anyone used the exo terra monsoon system with the zoo med hygrotherm? I'm wondering how that would even work with the timer in the monsoon system? If it will work nicely I would really like to get both.

i don't think moonsoon is good thing to be used for pacs, it mists heavy and substrate gets over saturated pretty fast. Fogger is a better solution.

[dth0829]

That was one of my concerns as well. I didn't know if a pacman would like a fogger though. Economically it's a better choice because the monsoon system is a bit pricey

[Lija]

fogger is excellent for pacs and for sure less $ and better then moonson, and if you get a regular home ultrasonic humidifier and adjust it for terrarium use, you will have cheap and good fogger. that is what i do
i used to have moonson for cresties, switched to mistking and will never look back.

Thanks Lija! That's the route I will go then. Personally I think the fog looks really cool too lol! Another question...if I go with the hygrotherm is it better to plug a lamp into the temp side or a heating pad for proper temperature?

both into temp side.

How would I do that if there is only one plug?

[Lija]

extension cord or that thing don't know how to call exactly, but you stick it into one socket and you can plug a few things in there. are you getting what I'm talking here about?

[dth0829]

Oh you're talking about plugging a splitter into it?

[Lija]

aha that is how it's called lol yes that is the one.

[dth0829]

Lol that seems easy enough . I'm getting all the materials together before I get an ornate. The more I learn the more excited I get.

[Lija]

lol next step is to get another frog lol

[dth0829]

Yes definitely!
