Fogger devices - are they safe?

[Aias]

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 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

The fogger works well if you use it as you would a spray bottle when you mist your terrarium. Leaving it on 24/7 doesnt sound healthy. I turn my ultrasonic fogger on 2x day for about 15minutes after I mist my terrarium.. Also for show i will turn it on and show off my setup haha...

Proper vent is very true too.
