Fogger VS Mister

[paleopossum]

So I have a reptifogger that I used for my jacksons chameleon and since getting my panther chameleon I haven't used it on her once. I'm just curious if it'd be worth using the fogger? My jacksons was in a screen cage so it was so hard to keep humidity, but my panther is in an exo-terra skyscraper so humidity stays around 60-70%. That's another discussion, some say that's a good humidity and others say it needs to be way higher. Her dripper runs every other day and she gets hand misted for like two minutes more than three times a day, but two hours before her lights go off all water stops.

I would not use a sonic fogger in a screen cage. At best, if you use distilled water, it will bring up the humidity an additional 10%. At worst, the thing will create a coating on everything in the room, since it will aerosol everything in the water. If this layer gets thick enough, it can start to create a bacteria culture on everything in the room.

And you only need to hit 70-80% a few times a day, you want the cage to dry out between misting, so again the above doesnt happen inside the cage.

The panther will be fine without the fogger. Misting will be sufficient enough to keep the humidity. Ideally, like nightanole stated, you want the cage to dry out almost completely between mistings. Try to have atleast 1 long 5 plus minute misting in the morning along with your various two minute mistings. Humidity drops are good, along with the nightly temp drops, for the chameleons. Keeping the humidity too high over a long period of time can also cause respiratory issues.

Keep in mind, I am not familiar with Jacksons chameleons so everything I've said relates to the panther.
