I’m in absolute love with my Mist King.
I have my first Crested Gecko, Flapjack, at my work office. He’s our mascot and everyone LOVES him. Keeping him misted on the weekdays is easy, but weekends when I wouldn’t be there every day? Not easy.
I don’t have the heart to just take him home and leave him there since he would be missed, and constantly moving him back and forth (even if it were only twice a week) would no doubt stress him out. I only wanted to go down to the office once during my 3 day weekends to give him his food, do a check up, and allow him to enjoy his peace and quiet.
So began the great misting quest of 2022.
I had a reptifogger gifted to me by a friend and was working on ordering a programmable outlet timer when I made the discovery that fog can cause respiratory issues for crested geckos. Definitely don’t want to hurt him for my own convenience, so back to square one.
Did a bit more research and saw a lot of complaints about other types of misting devices (Monsoon, Reptirain) and constant praise of the Mist King.
Found an extremely well priced kit from a nice lady who no longer needed it, and bam. It was the easiest thing to set up.
The biggest thumbs up about the Mist King is the fact it’s so customizable.
You can use ANY container you want, buy individual pieces to add on to make whatever setup you need, and disassemble it in a matter of minutes if need be. The timer is absolutely fantastic with how simple and straightforward it is. Being able to have it mist for any amount of time—whether it be one second, one hour, or whatever—is fantastic.
I’m going to pick up my second crested gecko soon. Knowing it’ll take me five minutes or less to get everything ready after I order the parts I need makes me EXTREMELY happy.
