Misting systems are used to maintain the humidity levels in a terrarium. These automated systems range from simple to sophisticated, but the purpose remains the same; mist your terrarium automatically throughout the day. So which is the best misting system for reptile & amphibian habitats and which ones should you avoid? That’s what I’ll cover in this review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quality, ease of use, and price of the product are factors that will determine the best fit for your situation. Another factor is pressure. Most misting systems nowadays are labeled as “high pressure” or “low pressure”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The low-pressure mister is less than 100 pounds per square inch while the high-pressure mister is more. When it comes to misters, the higher the pressure, the better.<\/strong> Low-pressure mister systems are less efficient for terrariums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water droplets produced by a mister also determines its suitability for your setup. Water droplets between 5 – 20 micros in size create a light to dense fog. Droplets around 100 microns are ideal because they create a nice mist of water that blankets the leaves and flat surfaces within your terrarium, causing the relative humidity levels to rise and providing opportunities for reptiles and amphibians to get a drink of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listed in the table below are the four misting systems I’ll review in this buyer’s guide. Clicking the link for each product will take you to the corresponding review. From there, feel free to read the review(s) where you will find links to each reptile misting system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 4 Misting Systems Reviewed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you read through this post, keep in mind there are different versions of some of these products. I’ll point out their differences and explain what they’re for and help you determine which is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a mister might have an entry-level, intermediate, and advanced option. Or perhaps a “solo” or “multi” in the case of the Exo Terra mister. These different versions revolve around the number of hose outputs the system can handle, the size of the water container, or simply a handful of small upgrades to the previous version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
