New to pacmans. Could use some guidance

Thanks. Yeah I was wondering how the glass would work with the ceramic heat over it. I didn't know if the glass would block too much hear from getting into the tank or what. Do you have experience with the repti fogger? I have seen on a couple different places some bad reviews saying it doesn't last very long...

I can give you my experience with a Repti-fogger.. broke after 5 min of use. Called the Zoo Med rep and they told me it was unusual to have one broken right out of the box but she did say that the one piece that actually creates the fog.. wish I could remember exactly what it was named, breaks.. a lot on them. My advice is to do a search on the forum for the diy humidifier modifications and go from there. I made one using a Vicks cool mist ultrasonic I got from Walmart, a tub stopper, and a food/liquid safe vinyl hose from home depot, cost me maybe $45 dollars total, and it holds over a gallon of distilled water so I add to it very rarely.

I use plexi-glass on my top, I have bad humidity issues here and couldn't keep the humidity up above 30%. Many people use glass but I am usually very clumsy and knew sooner or later I would drop it ( which I have already dropped the plexi at least 3x so far ). So spent $3 on the plexiglass it has been doing pretty well, just have to keep it an inch or so from the heat emitter. The humidity now is good with the jerry-rigged humidifier & plexiglass combo.
