this turned out to be a fantastic mister! I have a green tree python and had been hand misting. That got tiresome and when you factor in vacations or days i work late it just wasn't practical. I researched several units and ultimately decided on the mist king. my main concern was set up/installation. a couple of reviews made it sound difficult or as if the directions weren't written very well... nothing could be farther from the truth.The instruction book was written in very plain english. the whole set up took about 20 min and the first 5 or 6 was just me reading the directions to get a feel for them. the basics are you drill a hole in your reservoir ( in many cases a clean plastic bucket), install the drain (a simple screw in situation) run a couple pieces of tubing and mount the sprayer. Its super simple and the directions are very easy to follow.the mist king pump is INCREDIBLY quiet. so quiet if it wasn't obviously misting i wouldn't know it was on. This can 100% be put in a bedroom or family area with no worries about noise disruption.the one and only con i would identify is the instructions for programing the timer. The timer itself is really nice. its a remote style unit, meaning its got a long cord tying it to the pump. its very nice looking and i have it mounted to my tank visibly because its so well designed. the instructions, however leave a little to be desired. they help you get it programed if you read them enough but they don't make it simple and clear. In the end i went to the mist king web site and there is a user forum. it was a wealth of information and people had asked every question imaginable. with that it was a simple matter to program. it could be simply be me, perhaps my reading comprehension lacks a little something and the forum was written a bit more simply. whatever the case one you figure it out the programing is easy enough and very flexible. it can handle ten different start and stop times daily or a mixture of individual days of the week if you so desire. I have mine set up as a daily routine and its been dead on every day.in the end this is a fantastic system. Its been reliable and was easy to set up. my gap seem to be happier with the added humidity and im happier not having to hand mist very day.I was not compensated for this review in any way, just a guy who needed a mister. If this review helped you i appreciated a like :)

Just got it set up today. Takes about 30 minutes. You'll need a 5 gallon bucket or something similar to make a reservoir. Takes about 20 minutes to set up, then depending on how often you want it spraying maybe another 10 or 15 minutes. Sprays a very fine mist. Very quiet. Seems to be pretty awesome. Bought it for my chameleon after researching cheaper options and all of them having bad reviews. This is pricey, but buy once cry once. Seems like a solid purchase. My lizard will be happy. I've got it sett to go off 2x a day 12 hours apart for 5 seconds each time. This and a timer on his light make keeping him comfy pretty easy. Only downfall is hiding the pump and bucket.

Before I begin take note: requires some skill to setup.Photos are: the packaging and the timer it comes with.The system itself is stupid simple but there are fine print specifics that make it a rather delicate process. It works flawlessly and is super quiet when set up properly. My other option was for the cheaper one by ZooMed, very pleased I shelled out the extra cash in many ways. First of all the ZooMed's does have some history of breaking down after a while where as MistKing stays true to it's name. I have tried ZooMed in the past but it broke down as reviews said it would. Returned it to petco then found MistKing, running strong like new a month now. I can not recommend MistKing any more highly. Another nice touch is they have repair parts as if its a car! Well done MistKing.Pro tip: to perform at it's best, use distilled water and install the pump vertical (you can read the writing without tilting your head lol). I say vertical because it'll reduce strain on the pump and run quieter. It's a tough pump so you can have it in any config but I recommend vertical.

Fast deliver! Delivered with all parts there and everything great!!

I don't usually leave reviews, but I am absolutely fuming.Given how expensive this POS is I was VERY cautious when ordering but seeing as how the reviews were so overwhelmingly positive and how the entire dart frog community worships MistKing like a god I figured it'd be worth the price.Little did I know that the product would arrive with SEVERAL INTEGRAL parts completely missing. There was no instruction manual, just a QR code that didn't take me to an instruction manual, just their website where you can buy more stuff. Lucky me. Other pieces missing included the tubing and ALL the T pieces that were supposed to be there. It is literally useless and dysfunctional. Not to mention how unnecessarily complicated the setup is compared to other misting systems like Exo Terra's Monsoon, including needing to drill a hole in a reservoir that ISN'T EVEN PROVIDED. I have not been so stressed out with a product in my life.

Nice fine mist,timer is easy to set. I was getting about 12 drips after the system shut off. The basic kit doesn't come with the zipdrip, that helps prevent dripping . I added that and now only get 3 drips. This keeps the cage bottom dry. When I move my set up across the room and shorten tubing I may not get any dripping. The mistking is the best misting system on the market. Just watch YouTube reviews it is reliable.

Works amazing this is definitely the best mister ive ever used

This is a nice kit if you're never put together a misting system. It comes with all the parts, a good pump and decent instructions. However, the timer is way too convoluted to program. I did get it done, but the first day I pumped the entire container out because I inadvertently had set a starting time for one of the 8 programs. That was enough for me. I took the timer out of the system and got a little WiFi outlet that can be automated with an easy to use app. Works great.
