How do these work? do you just place these in the water fully or what? this model is from exo terra.

yeah, I have one. Works great for the humidity. Not to mention the fog looks really cool. You basically submerge the whole thing with water and it does what it's supposed to. But unless you have the waterfall to go with it, you have to cover up the water source with a screen of some kind. (I bought the waterfall, but it's too much of a hassle to clean all the time. So now I just use it as decor in my room. lol! It looks really nice, though) There's a jet stream that you're not supposed to touch. It can shock you pretty bad. Not to the point where it burns or melts your skin off or anything. lol But a sting. I imagine it'll hurt your cham really bad.

Bu the exo-tera one works well and is worth the cash. It's relatively easy to clean. Just be sure to always have clean water, don't want your cham breathing in all that bacteria in the fog.

I tried these several years ago and found they didn't last all that well. Maybe they have been improved since. They were very sensitive to water quality...if your water is hard you will have to clean them carefully fairly often. I prefer using a regular ultrasonic room humidifier outside the cage and aim the fog into the cage using a plastic hose or pipe instead. The "nebulizer" disk is never exposed to the animals, the water is easier to keep clean, they are cheaper to buy, they don't need refilling as often, and the units just seem to last longer.
