I was just on a site that was saying NEVER to mist your Leopard geckos tank. I have misted her tank morning and night since i have gotten her....Thats what i was told to do by the previous owner im a little worried now because the site said it could make her sick...I was just wondering what you guys do? And if you think that the site is right? Any info helps...
Thanks!

if a caresheet said to mist your leo, it probably ment to give it a bath.. you can do this occasionally before sheds or if the skin looks wrinkly (dehydrated) u get a critterkeeper and heat some water maybe 1-2 cm deep to about mid 80s F and let your leo sit in it for bout an hour. but yeah.. spraying leos isnt all too great.
