Can a 12v windshield wiper pump be run from a wall wart? I am putting
together a mist system for a terrarium, so it will run about 1 minute
2-3 times a day or so. If it will run from a wall wart any suggestions
would be great.

I bought one for home experiments a few years ago, and from experience,
they get pretty warm within a few seconds, and they're not meant for
continuous use. I also think they don't like to be run dry, but
running dry for a second or so shouldn't hurt it too badly.
Make sure your wall-wart can provide the necessary current.
Other than that, knock yourself out. ;-)
