Well keeping the humidity up in my hermit crab tank was always a hassle and the sand was getting too wet from the spray so I came up with an idea. It's similar to ones on the net but I did it my own way with adjustments
All you need is:
some clear tubing
a litre container
an airstone
air pump
soldering iron or drill
First up, make 2 holes on the lid of the container just a bit smaller then the pipe to make it a tight fit.
Now push the tubing through the holes. Make sure 1 tube has an airstone.
Fill the container up with water and have the tube with an airstone underwater and the one without an airstone just out of the water.
Put the tubing in the tank about halfway in the middle of the tank. Tape this to the tank and turn the pump on. You should feel air coming out (it may be a little but its still working).
I found the shorter the tube to the tank the better it works. Also I have the water jug on the top of the tank which is warm and that makes the air coming out warm.
It should look a little like this.
(this is when it was first set up so its not on the heat)
Tell me what you think!
Im sure it would work well with frogs or snakes/lizards that need humidity.
