I'm actually considering getting g this for our red footed tortoise's enclosure, as her current humidifier is on its last leg. Thank you for the in depth video!
I really appreciate this video!! I’m looking to upgrade my enclosure so I’m going to need a misting system and all of the decent ones I have found are over $200. This has definitely relieved some stress. I appreciate the info and will def sub
Another great video! I am setting up for a crested gecko and have been looking at the mist king. I like that this one has a reservoir already. Do you have any opinions on the mist king or how this one would compare?
Appreciate it a lot! The mist king and this repti zoo one work exactly the same however the mist king has better programming time than the repti zoo that’s really the only thing that sets them apart
gonna setup this for my tegu. It's so annoying how fast the substrate gets dry. Just couple hours & it's needing misting again, so hopefully this thing does the trick!
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I did have leaves but I found Forrest floor to work better. Can’t have with live plants tho, imaa try this or something like it. Think it’ll keep everything much more manageable just with high temps. It’s easy to get dry & then hard for the soil to absorb the water. Making me having to flip & toss the substrate every week. Which is a pain in the ass for a 6ft tank & 12in of soil.
I like this and it seems like a good fit for my ball pythons, however the biggest complaint Ive seen is the timer tends to give out after some time. Just curious if yours is still running strong and if so how long youve had it in total?
One stil works but sometimes the water will leak out the nozzles that started like 6 months in. That’s the only issue I have. Like be a constant drip. Which is weird
Get yourself a a humidity gauge and experiment. Unfortunately it’s completely impossible to calculate in the same way something like calculating lumens/PAR needed or how many substrate bags. This is because everyone uses different substrates, different amounts and types of plants, different sizes, and honestly even different cage qualities. All will affect the humidity. Pick a day where you’re home all day and set it on “zero” at first so it’s “always on.” Wait til your enclosure is soaked the way you want it to be, then turn it off. Now walk away for an hour and come back. If it’s not below 50%, wait another hour. Repeat until it’s below 50% then turn on the settings on “zero” again til it’s soaked once more. Do this the entire day and you will know the duration you need it to spray and the spray frequency. 👍
Hey! Great video as always! I have a question tho if you don't mind. I got a uro and I currently put his enclosure in the sun and I'm not using any bulbs at the moment. What do you recommend, continue to put his enclosure in the sun and when winter comes, put in a heat bulb (it gets hot in the summer where I live) or should I put both uv and heat bulbs from now ?
@@marawanharraz2310 oh yeah lol you can definitely keep them outside and don’t need any bulbs. Honestly build a outdoor enclosure made of screen and they would do great.
This doesn't mention the black plug on the water inlet which won't come off and prevents me from inserting the copper filter head. It's not budging at all and feels like I'm going to break it if I keep pulling, and if I twist it nothing changes
I'm looking for a product that can simulate a morning dew for my Arid Bioactive setup.. I would prefer it to go off for "X" number of minutes at a specific time just before the lights go on.. Can this be set to go off at a specific time schedule or is it just mindlessly running the program schedule based on when it was powered on?
I would try and find another one that can be programmed at a specific time in the morning. They have some now that can be digitally set and synced with your phone
It is an always on system. The only way to schedule mistings is with the hourly dial but you might be able to tie it in to a hygrometer I don’t have one so I couldn’t tell you that.
Hey man, just wondering I even 18 by 18 by 24 gargoyle gecko bioactive tank. I'm wondering if I should get the smaller mister with two nozzle or the big Mister with four nozzles I think there's a difference in water pressure as well but as it's on sale it's only a $30 difference. Also what setting do you reccomend for my gargoyle gecko? thanks!
@@ChiefSweetsUniversedue to the fact that its 40% off, I plan to get the non ultimate version with 2 nozzles in case I get more geckos in the future I can add more nozzles on to it. Dose that sound right? Thanks!
Hey man, with my experience with misters...always use distilled water or similar. Using tap water will eventually ruin any machine. I got a zero water filter I use just for the mister and a normal water filter just for their drinking water and I live in a place where we have awesome tap water.
Is there screen preventing reptiles from climbing into the lid if it's in the cage? My cham likes to explore and checkout her water source. Or should this be an outside the cage only mister?

happy to help! they have a smaller system as well that works just as good for cheaper too
As a first time reptile owner, your channel has been unbelievably helpful. Luigi and i thank you
Happy to help!
Best video and review ever glad I bought this every easy to set up and super neat

One thing I do is lay leaves on the substrate it traps humidity very well

im a bit late, but would there be a way to calculate the needed settings for 50% humidity etc?

What would you set the pressure, time, and duration settings to for chameleons crested geckos and tree frogs

If it’s outside I can see you swinging it but if it’s inside the house 100% put the heat bulb and uv in there
Yeah I put him outside, I only return him inside at sunset or so

Hello,how to contact you for reptile misting/fogger system reviewing ?
I'm looking for a product that can simulate a morning dew for my Arid Bioactive setup.. I would prefer it to go off for "X" number of minutes at a specific time just before the lights go on.. Can this be set to go off at a specific time schedule or is it just mindlessly running the program schedule based on when it was powered on?

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I just saw that.. yes that would be great. I'll keep searching.
So is it an always on system? You can't schedule mistings or tie it to a hygrometer to keep the humidity up?

They cost 220-270 Canadian and are on sale for 130 and 160 cad. Thanks
For a single tank I recommend this it’s a small version for solo tanks amzn.to/3Kbz9hy

I need more pipe PLEASE help me figure out what pipe to buy….. i have no clue of the size and i need a good amount of pipe.
I got you. This is what I bought and it works amzn.to/49BkG8e
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse TYSM 😀😆 my chameleon will be so happy
Do you have to use deionized water or is tap water ok?
I use tap water.

How much?
This one is $150 but they have a smaller model with a smaller water tank for $80
Should you get it for a bearded dragon?
No it’s for more tropical lizards
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse ok thanks
