Hm,

nice tank-but not for Tokays.
Remember that these are arboreal lizards. So I would not recommend to use tanks which are less than 4 ft tall. Also your tank lacks the kind of vertical hidings and shelter which tokehs prefer to feel secure.
I would use that nice setup for ground dwelling animals and built sth more apt for your Tokays.

Nice setup!! Was wondering how you made the fogger?

The humidifier:

See that round hole on top? Thats the reason I had to get the most expensive one out of the whole line Cost me $47.99 at the nearby Longs Drugs. Now the reason for the round hole, is that it perfectly fits standard size PVC piping. Go to home depot or osh and get these parts:

2" to 1 1/2" PVC pipe adapter
X" of 1 1/2" PVC pipe (the tall pipe from the floor to the top of the tank)
2 1 1/2" PVC Elbows
3" of PVC pipe to put between the elbows to hold them together. I used 3" you can use more but cant really use much less than 2" from what I measured.
TOTAL COST AT HOME DEPOT: 7$ (had to buy 10 feet of PVC....now I have a 6 foot piece to hit things with)

None of this needs to be cemented together since it wont have to hold any water. Some fog leaks out at the connection between the adapter and the humidifier itself but its minimal and easily fixed with a rubber band. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
