Im using a fogger aswell ^^. Work wonders but it tends to lower the temp in bigger tanks so i have mine activated for like 15 minutes every hour daytime and 15 minutes every 2 hours nighttime. Got my lights timed aswell with preheat in the morning
I used to use foggers for some of my torts and frogs but then discovered that if you touch the disk on the top I recieved a bit of a nasty shock, I am not sure if that is consistant with all foggers but I have since heard of several other people getting shocked regularly by their fogger. Thought I would just share that you give you a heads up. I love the affect of them though! I still used them on occasion but put them in an area that my animal can't access.
that may be but in my case I was definately shocked, like zzzzap! had a little bit to it but not enough to do much more then just freaking hurt for a second or two. Either way its just something to keep an eye out for when animals have access to it. I can't see it being too much of a problem with a large bodied tegu but with my little tree and dart frogs it was enough to make me take it out of the cage
Wow! :shock: Thats just amazing, I've never seen a fog machine into a reptile place ever! Yeah, I'm the Argentinian lol. Its really cool, and really like those pics, they seem to have a little jungle there! :-D
Ha the humidity is 90% in there, Mine doesnt like water that much right now, maybe more when he gets older, but I do know, he does not like to be woke up in the morning. Today he made it a point to draw blood, and has been an a$$ the whole rest of the day.
Everytime I use the fogger and unplug it it ends up breaking...I swear I went through 4 of them in 2 months...and the first time I got shocked...it scarred the crap out of me...It was totally unexpected. Can I ask what kind of fogger your using?
lizardboy - are you sure you just didn't need to replace the disk? Sorry if I am asking a stupid question but it never hurts to ask! That's the fogger I used to... I found a way to prevent shocks (for the animals) is to place the fogger above the top of a screened cage because the fog is heavier and will sink down into the cage. Just a thought for people with smaller animals and top screened cages. I really love how much humidity it manages to put into a cage.
