Fogger ?

[skittles1234]

So I just bought a fogger for my two jacksons. They are both in heaven right now (and so is my wrist from not hand spraying as much ) They really do seem to enjoy the fog though. This is my first fogger though. I have a humidifier I usually leave on 24/7, except when i'm cleaning it, for humidity that lets out an invisible stream of air through a small tube I place in their enclosure at the top. I had to remove the humidifer though, not enough outlets, to plug in the fogger.
So do I let the fogger run all night or shut it off like I do the mister? Like i said i left the humidifer on 24/7 and these are jacksons

It's better to shut it off at night. It's safer. Besides, the fogger would need time to "cool down" after being a good 12 hours on

Am just trying one right now I just run my fogger on a timer .I have it set to run 3 times during the day for 20 mins each time

I'd have it of at night but have it turn on half hour before lights up, they love a misting then but I wouldn't worrie to much, I'm in the uk where the humidity is low but with a live plant in my reptibreeze my jacksons are fine, I just keep there viv well sprayed and let it dry of the last couples of hours before lights out

You keep them inside? With that beautiful weather?!

You dont want to run any humidifier 24/7.

You dont want to run a hot water humidifier other than in the same room, if you live in a dry area.

Too much humidity will cause respiratory issues.
(the humidity where you live right now is at 65% outside, plenty humid enough for them in between mistings)
I would only run the fogger in the mornings, and evenings, for about an hour or so each time at most. This will replicate morning/evening fog.

You can run it periodically throughout the day if you need to keep humidity up, but youll want things to get dry in the cage in between uses/mistings.

(PS-Ive ran those things 24/7 for months, without damaging them )
