are fog machines a good idea for a salamander enclosure? does anyone use them, and would that be a good way to keep the humidity up instead of misting?
don't use a fogger but to hold humidity in my homemade rubbermaid tank for my marbled sals i'll cover the screen partially. i usually use a pair of jean shorts but a towel, magazine, newspaper, basically anything wide and long enough will work
I found with using a fogger, sometimes the increased humidity and moisture surpasses the intentional desired effect. I had problems with flooding, The misting machine would run dry, and sometimes mould would develop in wet then dry again areas.
This is just my experience, and I dont think I would recommend it for newts and sals.
I also have been told that the foggers create a water vapor so small that it can be unfiltered by the animals lungs and cause sickness. The promist guy told that to me because he used to sell them a lot and after the studies he read and his experience with it, he decided to refine misting for herps and caudates only.
