Reptile Humidifiers, Foggers & Misters FAQ's

What is a reptile humidifier & fogger?

A reptile humidifier or fogger is a device used to spray a fine mist of water into a reptile's enclosure. It helps to increase humidity levels and provide moisture for reptiles that require higher humidity or enjoy misting as part of their natural behaviour.

Why do reptiles need misting?

Many reptiles come from humid environments or have specific humidity requirements for proper hydration and shedding. Misting helps to maintain the appropriate humidity levels within the enclosure, ensuring the reptile's respiratory health and aiding in shedding their skin.

Which reptiles benefit from misting?

Reptiles that benefit from misting include species such as certain geckos, tree frogs, and certain snakes. These reptiles often require higher humidity levels and can benefit from regular misting to maintain hydration and create a more suitable environment.

How often should I mist my reptile's enclosure?

The frequency of misting depends on the specific needs of your reptile and the humidity requirements of their natural habitat. In general, misting once or twice a day for a few minutes is a good starting point. However, it's essential to monitor the humidity levels within the enclosure and adjust the misting schedule accordingly.

How should I mist my reptile enclosure?

When misting, it's best to use a fine mist spray to create small water droplets that can stay suspended in the air for a while, allowing the reptile to drink and absorb moisture. Avoid spraying directly on the reptile to prevent stress or causing unnecessary dampness.

Can I use tap water for reptile misting?

Tap water can be used for misting, but it's important to consider the quality of your tap water. If your tap water contains high levels of chlorine or other chemicals, we recommend using dechlorinated or purified water. Some reptile owners also prefer using distilled or filtered water to ensure the best quality for their reptiles.

Can I use a handheld spray bottle for reptile misting?

Yes, handheld spray bottles are commonly used for misting reptile enclosures. Look for a bottle with a fine mist nozzle to produce small droplets. You can also find specialised reptile misting systems that can automate the process and provide consistent misting throughout the day.

Are there any safety precautions when using a reptile mister?

When using a reptile mister, ensure that the water droplets do not create excessive dampness or pooling in the enclosure, which can lead to unsanitary conditions or respiratory issues for the reptile. Additionally, make sure the misting system or spray bottle is clean to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Can misting replace a water dish in my reptile enclosure?

While misting can provide additional hydration for reptiles, we recommend providing a separate water dish for drinking and soaking purposes. Reptiles should have access to clean water at all times, and a water dish allows them to drink and soak as needed.

Do all reptiles require misting?

No, not all reptiles require misting. Some reptiles come from drier environments and have lower humidity requirements. It's important to research the specific needs of your reptile species to determine if misting is necessary for their health and well-being.
