of course itnis wzagereated just metaphorically the personal lreference is objectively orefering the compensation seconsary mexhanism to the most frequent natural one. ot is not an opinion, it is a fact. Forst rhey do not drink even if they can, if they have enough fog. Thye dri k at night and...
pulmonary mycoses are extrmelynrarely reported, Inhave never identified any (which does not mean much)
all we know is regretfully too little and research is slow and will not be better
efoee mu artixle on fog has been published
since then, thousands of people ise it without any problems
I tried to explain
I quit
it is theorizing based on personal preference, this can not be beaten and leads to nothing.
yes, a horse can also survive when getting all nutrients intravenously...
i ised all kinds of wayer. tap water, RO and distulled one. Therebis ni reason you would have a harmful ammount of pathogens in the water and even if, they will be killed by the piezoelectric action. Then the fog does not contain them basically.
some airborne pathogens circulate everywhere and...
well, I understand your view
and position, though I do not share it.
I was in Florida several times. Hot and humid? few months in a year, freezing cold and foggy? Also many months…
I have seen in my 40years chameleons in the wild and they really do NOT drink, so why we should force them to do...
well, you oversimplify… You are close to true that if there is extremely good ventilation, the risk of hot humid air is less as it evaporates quickly. But then, what is the purpose of such misting if you would eliminate it immediately with ventilation? that does not make sense.
The trick is not...
well, mybresearxh showed otherwise: many chameleons have NOTHING TO DRINK fir many months and in that months even feeders. ecome so dry and unavailable that they can not cover their need with them, but they stay hydrated without drinking a drip through the fog drinking. It is not speculation, ot...
both named germs (first a bacteria, second a fungus) are under notmal circumstances harmless, they are weak opportunistic pathogens which can get herful in immunosuppressed animals even humans. Both are not airborn typically. So, if they get to the fog generatir, anyway they are basically killed...
I have tested many during last 30yeats.
frankly, fog they make all comparable
way. the difference ai saw were just the technical sokutio. and ease if sterilisation. Very surprizingly, some really cheap ones did better job
than extremely costly ones.

As per
my knowledge and experience,
the most frequent bacterial causes of respiratory infections (RI) in reptiles include Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Mycoplasma, and Salmonella species. These pathogens often take advantage of poor husbandry conditions and weakened immune systems.
The most frequent...
Very thoughtful comments!
And I am the forst person being cautious.
I tested fogging for more than 20yeats and was actively seeking wild and captive evidence that it works…
As everything, there might be conditions that failed to be simulated by myself. Therefore, before I put everything together...
there were bacteria but not pathogenic ones and low concentration
ther are lots of bacteria with zero pathogenity
I ldid cultivation on Agar under controlled conditions myself
I have i.A. human medicinal education
while some people claimed tk have issues with some slime, I have never encountered any
even growing the smewrs of all the parts post and pre piezzo unit revealed no pathogens, just airborn bacteria in low concentrations. micht be soecifics of the local area and of cleaniness and temperatire...
well, it seems you did not try fogging yet
the differences are tremendous and rapidly to see.
but let us do the research and we will see what will be the outcome
A plebiscite to document real-world evidence and community experience
In Archaius 1(4): 8–28, I (Petr Nečas) published the foundational article
"The Naturalistic Chameleonoculture – a breakthrough in captive management of chameleons. Part 2: Hydration and the Mystery of Fog-Drinking."
