The fog comes out of the fogger or from the hose actually through the light force off a small, integrated ventilator, but I do not feel that is somehow harsh. The fog normally pours out of the opening of the hose and the opening of the hose should be placed on the top of the cage, and it...
paradogically or logically you get denser fog at slightly heated water temperatures but do not go for it. Room temperature is isually fine, espdcially when the overall humidity is low, then the fogging can even contribute to lowering the temp a bit due to the expansion effect
you can make fog...
the temps should be best under 65F, the lower the better. so my humble advice is: open the window a bit more and get low 60s or even 50s, the. the fogging will be safe and efficient
it is obviously a semiadult female
of C calyptratus. Nowadays with stuntend inbred genetics, not all signs are always as clear as in the wild specimens from their homecountry
all good
I was in FL several times and theee times in the winter
i wanted to play golf and rhe frass was frozen in the morning…

well,
evolution is tricky
something that can be survival extrme mechanism often transfers to be a necessity
this is a key lrinciple of
soecialization
and chameleons are megaspecialists in a big number of features
e.g. feeding on some toxic food leads from adaptation to dependence. even if...
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...
