I have a 1-gallon bottle filled with water, I use it as a humidifier for a reptile enclosure, I want to heat the water inside this plastic bottle to say around 130-150 degrees. My room temperature is about 63-67 degrees. This hot water temperature helps makes the humidifier much more efficient. I was wondering if any submersible aquarium heater will get the water this hot in a 1-gallon plastic bottle?
Here is the setup I have right now... http://www.ball-pythons.net/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&id=53
I notice that if I fill the bottle with hot tap water (about 135 degrees water), that this home humidifier works MUCH better, because I supposed the hot water inside the bottle, heats up the incoming air from the air pump, and as we know, the warmer the air, the more mositure the air can hold, thus the air coming out of the bottle is saturated with moisture.
