Just wondering if anyone uses something like the Zoo Med Repti Fogger. It looks super cool but is it even useable for a BP?

Yes and no in my case I use an ultrasonic humidifier which is basically the same on a larger scale it does the whole room. There is no reason why it would not work really well it may have to be on a timer however or you will hit 100% and stay there. Perhaps in the morning for an hour or so maybe in the afternoon as well. I'd avoid the evening as it is likely to cause a temp drop and doing that as things cool off at night might cause a drop deeper than you expect.

I bought it. I like it. I don't keep it on for too long, because it fills up the entire tank with water vapor quickly, even on its lowest setting, and it doesn't look to comfortable for my BP. So I turn it on frequently throughout the day for a minute or two. This problem will happen with any humidifier, so its not really a problem with the repti fogger per say
2 things to think about with it. I don't leave it on all day, for the reason above and because this shortens the lifespan of it. And you need to use distilled water with it. If you use hard water with it, it will build up calcium in the machine, also shortening its lifespan.

Definitely use distilled. It will kill it quick on tap water.

I use it on my ball and my boa along with the zoo med hygrotherm, it monitors the humidity and keeps it where I set it.

distilled water is a good practice. I don't bother myself I bought the extended warrantee for 3 years. I run mine 24/7 at a medium rate and it keeps the room (full sized unit here) at 54-66% so I have no complaints so far it has been almost a year now. I have 8 no make that 9 snakes so it is more efficient for me to use a large one but the principal is the same.
