Exo Terra Monsoon Solo ll Reptile Mister
A compact, single-terrarium misting system that runs itself. The Exo Terra Monsoon Solo II is a programmable misting system built around a 1.5 litre reservoir and a 2.5 BAR pump, driving one nozzle out of the box and expandable to two – enough to keep a single terrarium at target humidity without a daily top-up.
Key features
- 1.5 litre reservoir – several days of operation between refills.
- 2.5 BAR / 36.25 PSI pump – enough pressure for a fine, even mist through extra-long tubing runs.
- Expands to 2 nozzles – start with one, add a second where the enclosure needs it.
- Programmable cycles – spray durations from 2 seconds to 2 minutes, with multiple misting events across a 24-hour schedule.
- Pressure-resistant polyether tubing – leak-proof push-fit connectors, points in any direction.
Specifications
| Reservoir capacity | 1.5 L (0.40 gallon) |
|---|---|
| Pump pressure | 2.5 BAR / 36.25 PSI |
| Nozzles included | 1 |
| Maximum nozzles supported | 2 |
| Spray duration range | 2 seconds – 2 minutes, programmable |
| Tubing | Pressure-resistant polyether, leak-proof push-fit connectors |
Which Monsoon do I need?
All three current Monsoon systems share the same programmable timer and push-fit nozzle design. The difference is reservoir size, pump pressure and how many enclosures one unit can cover.
| Model | Reservoir | Pump pressure | Nozzles included | Max nozzles | Spray duration range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monsoon Nano | External reservoir (not included) | 2 BAR / 29 PSI | 2 | 4 | 1 second – 9 minutes |
| Monsoon Solo II | 1.5 L built-in | 2.5 BAR / 36.25 PSI | 1 | 2 | 2 seconds – 2 minutes |
| Monsoon Multi II | 8 L built-in | 4.5 BAR / 65.25 PSI | 2 | 6 | 2 seconds – 2 minutes |
The Solo II is the one to choose for a single terrarium that needs reliable daily misting without the reservoir size or nozzle count of the Multi II.
What's included
- Monsoon Solo II misting unit with 1.5 L reservoir
- 1 x nozzle
- Pressure-resistant polyether tubing
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for single terrariums and vivariums – dart frogs, chameleons, crested geckos, live-planted builds – needing consistent, unattended misting.
- Not suitable for multi-enclosure rooms; the Multi II's 8 L reservoir and higher pressure cover several terrariums from one unit far more efficiently.
Care and maintenance
Use distilled or reverse-osmosis water in the reservoir – tap water leaves mineral scale in the nozzle and pump, which is the most common cause of a weakening mist. If adding the second nozzle, expect a small drop in pressure at each.
Goes well with
- Exo Terra Monsoon Brass Nozzle Kit – a finer-misting upgrade or replacement nozzle set.

Common questions
How long does the reservoir last between refills?
Exo Terra states the 1.5 L reservoir provides several days of operation before it needs topping up, depending on how often and how long cycles are set to run.
Can I set different mist times for morning and evening?
Yes – the timer supports multiple misting events across a 24-hour cycle, with each spray adjustable from 2 seconds to 2 minutes.
Can I add a second nozzle later?
Yes, the Solo II supports up to two nozzles – adding a second will slightly reduce the mist pressure at each.
Do I need distilled water?
It isn't required, but it's recommended – tap water minerals build up in the nozzle over time and are the main cause of reduced mist quality.
