opinions on fogger safty with frogs

[chamaeleo]

iv been told that some one on here had a fogger and it killed their frog,
i just put my fogger in a plastic container and it melted hole in the lid so ill need a higher one,
do any of you use them with frogs? how do you use them in your vivs? evey had problems?
the safty of my frogs comes first so if i cant find a safe way to use these its getting abanonded

If you want to use an ultrasonic fogger with amphibians then you are best off getting an exterior one such as the 'Super Fog' or 'ReptiFogger' however I find that these foggers are very difficult to regulate causing quite dramatic fluctuations in humidity.
In my opinion your better off spending a bit more and going for a good quality misting system like these

oer, thats alot- think ill just go with the spray bottle and water feature using the fogger when im going to be away for a day! kinda as a back up

I'm using one above my water dragon viv a DIY job and it's regulated by a humidistat. Works well with plenty of water to go at. will get some photos if you want.

The mist enters from the top of the viv. Note the water damage from when I first set this up.





This is the tank sat on top of the viv. It has a lid so the splash from the fogger stay inside.




As the mist is quite heavy it forms on the water surface then like an overflow falls down the tube.


The fogger sits in a diy float. This keeps the fogger near the surface but lets you have more water in the tank. Try going for a tank that is long and shallow not small and deep.

Also in this photo is the feed for the misting system and the top up tube that comes from a RO filter.





The diy float
The big problem was finding a tube for the fog to fall down, as it goes through the water you have to be able to seal it. I couldn't find a tank connector big enough. 22mm an 15mm are standard, but I just didn't think the mist would flow freely enough. What I found was a toilet flush mechanism and a hacksaw
