May get a Pacman again, Need an automatic fogger

[lovenokia]

It has been months maybe a year since I have been without pacmans, but I need a fogging machine this time around, as manual fogging was too much work. Any suggestions? I saw a 4 inch pacman so a 20 gallon tank should do.

Hygrotherm attached to a reptifogger and red incandescent bulb. 20 gallon is too big.

Is there also an temperature controller? A lighting system that auto adjusts to have the right temp?

[danfrog]

This is how I set up my adult male cranwelli. Its a tad too big for him. But he is doing well in it.

I have two ten gallon tanks and one 20 gallon at home. I should stick with the 10 gallon then?

What type of pacman? Pacman frog enclosures need to grow with the frog. Small/ med for under 3 inches. 10 gallon at three inches. I moved my Mojo to a 18x18x12 at 3.25 inches.

I do not worry about any husbandry with my frog. It is all preprogrammed and controls itself. I paid a pretty penny though.

You have a system that controls the temperature and humidity? I would like a link for something like that from where you bought the items. The frog I saw at petsmart was huge at least 4 inches, probably a female. The pacman looked like a cranwelli, petsmart sells those normally.

An adult Pacman can live comfortably in a 10 gallon. A Hygrotherm can control the climate for you and operate the fogger.

What is a recommended hygrotherm?

That's the one I use. That and the hygrotherm is awesome. All I have to worry about is feeding my frog and filling the reptifogger with destilled water every ten days or so (i still mist the substrate to keep it moist twice a day). Im actually starting to get my second set for my new baby.

Does this look good?

That sounds fantastic, exactly what I would need. What about the light source, does it connect to the hygrotherm? How does the lighting work with the hygrotherm?

[danfrog]

If you follow the thread I linked to you earlier you should be good. Some lamps from petsmsrt have dimmers. I got one dimmer i have from home depot. If you use lights for heat you will need a dimmer you can get from home depot. Some lamps from petsmart have dimmers built in.

Light timers can be bought from walmart for really cheap. Never use any bulbs above 50 watts.

[lovenokia]

I have a light with a dimmer, I can also buy 40 watt bulbs from my pet store.

[danfrog]

I use two lights. My white light is on the timer 730 to 730. Its a energy saving bulb ( non halogen) 40 watts. I have lots of shade underneath too. And for the extra heat I have the hygrotherm attached to a red incandescent bulb. It turns off and on as needed by itself.

Just to let you know 3.25 inches is too small to move to an 18x18 enclosure.
