    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone know how to make a good humidifier for a chameleon? I have a system right now, but would like to upgrade the cage, and it wouldnt work with the humidifier I have. Not looking to buy a system, looking to make one

thanks in advance
 
I have found that the ultrasonic humidifiers carried at home good stores work great. You can modify the mist outlet to allow for PVC to be attached and then you can plumb it into the cage however you want.

Might you have pictures to better orientate anyone clueless like myself lol.

:iagree: I just recently acquired a pair of panthers and a pair of vields so I am doing my homework :thumbsup:
 
I'm planning on making my own humidifier. I have a c-pap breathing machine that was remaining when my father in law passed a year or so ago. I am simply going to open it up and bypassed the controls so that it can be wired to a timer or preferably a humidistat. It even has the hose that comes off of it that would go to the face mask. I'm simply going to run the hose to a large plastic nipple I will attach to the side of the cage and place a sensor in the cage for the humidistat. Should work out nicely. I can get pics of the machine for anyone who hasn't heard of a c-pap machine. It wouldn't be cost effective to purchase one for reptile use, but if you could get a used one or if one is left to you, they should work great. You have to use distilled water in it though, but I'm not sure why, probably hard mineral buildup inside it.

I just rounded the output on an ultrasonic humidifier with a dremmel and attached a piece of PVC. The terrarium is a 75gal, the humidifier is plumbed up the side and around to the front. Takes about 15 min to completely fog the tank. It runs four times a day, and uses about 1 gallon of deionized water every two weeks.
