I figured that I've been using a thermostat to manage the heat for ages, why not get a fogger to manage the humidity and create a more stable environment for my herps.
Prolly wont use this specific item, but something like it.
My view on foggers is that they can keep the humidity TOO stable - i like the more natural spray/dry/spray/dry humidity levels that you get from manually spraying. There are few places in the world with an aboslute constant humdity level.
Can foggers be set to onlt spray say at 55% and raise it to 70% only to dry out again?

plugg your fogger to a timer. you can get them at any hardware store im sure even at a doller store. set the fogger to turn on for a fewminuts every day onec or twice in th day andit should do the job. what i dont like about these foggers is that they tend to get reaaalllly hot where the fog 'comes out of' soitneeds to be covered in a whay where our anilmal cant touch the jet of the fogger... any way i baught one but then returned it because of that. noe i just have a pressure sprayer. works good enough for me.
I used a fogger I got from one of those relaxation things in my false water cobras waterbowl. I don't know how practical it was, but it was cool to look in and see an FWC staring at you from the fog.
I use a fogger in the fountain inside my Columbians' cage, on a timer. It does look awesome when the fog rolls off the fountain into the cage and their sheds are always perfect.

There's a fairly new product on the market that's been getting really good reviews. It's called the Monsoon RS400. I guess it comes with 2 spray nozzles, but can be expanded to include up to 8. It has 2 built in timers. One controls the number of times in a day it will spray, and the other controls the duration of each spray. (which basically takes care of the wet/dry/wet/dry you get with manual spray)
IMHO (b/c I did own one for about 2 days), PIECE OF JUNK! The capacity is WAY too small and you have to fill it WAY too often. I bought a humidifier from Walmart for about $30 that has a one gallon capacity, which is about 5x the capacity of the "ReptiFogger." It has reptile on the box, so it is overpriced and below par--functionality wise.
I thoroughly enjoy having the 1 gallon capacity human-grade humidifier....if it is human grade (likely FDA approved), then you can bet your butt it's safe for reptiles. I prefer the ultrasonic type (uses ultrasonic vibrations to create the "fog"). There are heating-types, but the heating elements get extremely hot, they draw more power, and overall, are less "safe" (i.e., if it tips over while you're gone...fire hazard). There is a third type, but I can't recall (type 1: ultrasonic, type 2: heater-like, type 3: ???).
I rarely use mine in my snake room, but during the winter, it is helpful.
I hope that helps....DON'T waste your money on a "reptile fogger"!!!!
