    the repti-fogger is meant more so for amphibians and snakes like Emerald Tree Boas that need 80% humidity

    for use with a ball python your going to have to turn that thing on and off all the time. which will only accomplish the same thing as misting. since you'll be putting in the same amount of effort.

    Re: Humidity: Repti Fogger OR Waterfall? Any Good?

    Waterfalls are pretty useless for bps and would take up space.. foggers are always useless unless over 100 dollars, even then, some of those don't work for humidity at all.

    Just spray mist your cage with hot water (it should turn warm in the air, you can test it by spraying it on your hand first) every other day or so and it should be fine.
    You may have to do it everyday.

    that zoo med repti-fogger works great ive seen it in action on a ETB. Youtube it.

    but it will be too humid for a BP> you'll just be turning it on and off all day long which takes more effort then misting.


    Waterfalls are nice to the eye and can be used. the do help humidity a bit but if your using a heat lamp or CHE its just going to be lost.

    Re: Humidity: Repti Fogger OR Waterfall? Any Good?

    I have a waterfall and it's really hard to clean, and pretty pointy. They also have pieces to them that can be dangerous if the bp gets stuck in the waterfally. There is a do-it-yourself (DIY) section around here that shows how to make you're own humidifier. Or just buy a humidifier and keep the whole room at 50%. Also, I use a cup with paper towel strips hanging out of it, and fill it with about 1/4 cup of water. That works. Or, if you have a screen top cover it with a wet towel. Did I miss anything?

    You saw a video of a fogger. It did not read the humidity for you.

    I've bought that fogger and multiple others, they are cheaply made and crappy design, not to mention, I got much better results spending 3$ on a spray bottle and spraying it everyday.

    Not worth the extra money.

    This is just a suggestion with the fogger, you could plug it into an inexpensive timer, so that it would fog maybe 4 times a day.
