Default Fogger devices - are they safe?

Hello,

I just can't find an answer! I have successfully used some lucky reptile products (mini nebler and super fog nano) with dart frogs and carnivorous plants terrariums.

I do not keep any of them anymore so i wanted to use them in my geckos vivariums. But after a discussion with some friends, they seem to agree that they are dangerous for use with reptiles, as it comes to their respiratory system.

I have not read or see anything like that before and i don't think this is accurate.. Do any of you know for sure that they are safe to use?

Thank you!

I would imagine that running them for long periods of time could certainly cause upper respiratory issues. But, placed on a timer and used appropriately to raise humidity in an enclosure shouldn't be a problem. Of course, this depends on what species of gecko you're wanting to use it for as well. Obviously you wouldn't want to use it with a desert species, etc.

Thank you for the reply!

Of cource i don't plant on using them with desert spiecies hehe :P I only refer on geckos that require a lot of humidity in their tanks and, as you said, with the use of a timer!

Thank you again

Which species are they dangerous for..
Maybe if you use them 365 days a year 24 hours a day..
Think about it..Cloud Forests are shrouded for Days..
Sometimes it rains for days on end.

Proper ventilation is the Key
