I've been looking around for some kind of automatic misting system to supplement mt manual misting, and one that won't break the bank. The Repti-fogger got me thinking. I ordered a Medisana Ultra-sonic Personal Humidifer (the deluxe one - HAH2000- with the built-in cycling timer) for $36 inlcuding shipping from Allergy-be-gone. It's small, but just what I needed. Rather than get into all of the fancy replacing parts with other parts to get it the fog into the viv, all I did was buy one of those spray hoses that you stick on to a faucet (you know, for washing hair, etc.). The end that goes on the faucet fit perfectly on the exit nozzle of the humidifier. Then I cut off the wide sprayer part, attached a little grid to the hose so the the lizards couldn't crawl into the hose (they're quite small and thin; originally a covered it with screen, but water blocked it up. Now have an x-shaped cover from two plastic-coated paper clips) and put the hose into the tank through a hole in the screen lid (it was there for filter hoses when I had an aqautic turtle, but they're easy to cut). Set the timer to be on for 15 minutes every hour and voila!
The humidifier with the hose:
What is looks like attached to the tank (I'm working on wrapping some fake vines around it or something): NOTE: humidifer should be higher than tank so excess water drips into tank:

This humidifier also has a cool blue light that you could use as a nightlight if you wanted!
