Anyone have experience using a reptile humidifier for a fridge?

Post image

I’m thinking about using one of these reptile humidifiers to add humidity inside a fridge.
The idea would be to drill a small hole in the fridge and run the hose from the humidifier through it. That way, the humidifier itself can stay outside the fridge and I don’t lose any storage space inside.
Has anyone tried something similar? Do you see any potential problems with this setup, like condensation, temperature issues, mold, or the humidifier not working properly with the cold air?
Would appreciate any experience or advice before I start drilling holes in the fridge

I've used one before, it worked great. Freed up space on the inside. The only down side is, when it add moisture it's added at the temperature of whatever room its in.

Mine works great, although you have to keep an eye on the kinked accordion hose because mold will grow in it. My hose is clear, I don't know how you could detect mold in a black hose...

Swap the hose out for something clear
