Every supplier that I call says not to install a fogger, but surely if a snake requires high humidity as in over 80% then a fogger is the only sure way to achieve that level?
I'd use with a controller unit and a fan to keep the viv within 10% of desired humidity.
Yeah I know hand misting has the same effect, but that isn't stable.

Thanks for replying Fezza, that would work..but Rob has put me off the idea lol
Ra's viv will cost me the guts of £300 so ain't replacing that for rotten wood. Of course, he's in a faun atm and too many ventilation gaps, which was fine for the Boa and Royal..but obviously not him. Next shedding he'll be the two footer :)
Thanks Rob |

If you put a fogger in a vivarium made of wood you can kiss it goodbye in about 3-4 months (estimated), I spray Harley's viv every 2-3 days and it keeps humidity at about 80%, any more than that it would need a drain in the bottom. |

For the cost of foggers, combined with the associated safety issues I wouldn't bother. I made my own from a humidifier I got from maplin and a length of 40mm plastic pipe.
Total cost, £35
It holds a full 5 litres and is outside the viv so no issue with the animal coming into contact with the unit. Set on a timer it holds a steady 65-75% all day long |
