I got this misting system that hooks up to the garden hose. Just wanted to share. It works great and is cheap. I have it hooked up to a timer. Helps keep things more humid and helps cool them down. I also put a drip line to their water dish. Automatically changes their water once a day.

I had one like that hooked up at my old place. They do work nicely. I haven't gotten it hooked up yet here though, kinda forgot about it, as our temps hasn't been all that overly hot. Thanks for sharing, it will give a lot of members ideas.

I also use one. The hose clamps at the fittings will fall apart. Have zip ties ready.
They're great to help with temperature control.

Also, limit the amount of garden hose that gets exposed to the sun because it will eventually rupture and if hooked to a timer you could end up dumping hundreds of gallons down the drain.
Using some super duty hose is initially more money but holds up to the elements and pressure much better.
