Need Serious help with dry cage(mister help)

[Lanky]

i've done legit everything else to stop my cages from drying at this point a lot of my frogs start burying because i could keep up with the cages drying out at this point i need to invest in their safety and get a mister that can run on 5 cages all ten gallons which mister is best for this task?

It's going to be pricey but the Mistking is the best choice. Exo Terra has a good mister but I haven't tried the new model and they keep tampering with theirs and Mistking keeps their mister consistent. If you don't want to spend too much money on a mister you can purchase a fogger or two! The foggers work very well and are $60 compared to $130 Mistking Starter plus $100 for your extra sprayers and such. I have foggers and the Mistking and I'm pleased with them all. The Evergreen Pet Supplies Reptile Fogger is the best fogger on the market.

What do their set ups look like? Can you provide photos?

i can't do photos when ever i try to put photos on to my computer to upload to the forums i cant ever find them lol im not that computer savvy there cages are ten gallon aquariums 1 per frog they all have fake vine plants with a big water bowl and they all have 50 watt inferred blubs with i believe fluckers clamp lights and they got mesh tops with aluminium foil covering half of the top mesh to also keep it more moist but it doesnt work.

50 watts on a ten gallon is a bit much. That’s what’s drying out your substrate. Get a dimmer for your light or try a lower wattage bulb. I use sheets of glass to block off the screens on my vivariums. (You can repurpose old glass from picture frames or old tanks) and I have no issues keeping humidity up. Also mist king is amazing if you decide to go that route. It will be money well spent.

That's a great point about the 50 watt light lol you can use plexiglass as a lid to cover the top also. That's what I use in my builds. I have the Mistking Starter and the Evergreen Pet Supplies Reptile Fogger and they work great together! Honestly either device will work but it will cost you a lot to mist 5 tanks.

plexiglass hmm can i get that at home depo and i assume i poke holes into it and even with 50 watts my cages get tops to 80's thats why i have 50 watt instead of 40 that and my local store almost never has 40's :P but thanks for the help guys i think ill see if a can get a reptile fogger and swap all the tops with plexiglass hopefully that won't be very pricey im a lil low on funds right now
