Question on terrarium humidity???

HerHideousCorpse Mar 09, 2004 07:52 PM

I was wondering if anyone has tried or knows if this might work:
If I take a humidifier/ air exchanger (for reptiles/amphibians) that says it works for up to a 65 gal. it uses an air pump, so if I use a powerful fishtank air pump, and use this to humidify six, ten gallon terrariums? thank you!

Hi

I saw that system, or one like it, on petco today. It could probably be rigged to work the way you want it, I haven't done it.

Are you having a problem with low humidity in your tank? A better solution could be a household ultra-sonic humidifier. I'v seen picture posts in this forum of them in use. You can get one for about the same $$ at Wal-Mart. It will hold more water and you could plumb it into all the tanks. I'm not exactly sure how to do it, but it has been done. Add a digital timer to turn it on and off and your ready to go.

Also, what I'm looking at is a misting system sold by http://bigappleherp.com
It's $99.00 and has a 2 gallon tank, comes with a timer and can be hooked into multiple tanks.

Hope this helps.
