Zoo Med ReptiFogger

[chrisvela91]

I just purchased a reptifogger for my pacman frog. But the instructions say to use distilled water. Is distilled water safe for my pacman frog? Or can I use tap water treated with reptisafe? Thanks guys!

Distilled is safe to use for the fogger but, don't use it in the water dish or to moisten substrate.

Your reptifogger will only be adding humidity to the air, and replacing small amounts evaporated out of the soil. The problems associated with distilled water for your frog only come into play if the frog is soaking in it because the frog and water will balance out in minerals through osmosis. Since distilled water has nothing in it, it will suck nutrients and vital chemicals out of your frog.

While the reptifogger will work using other waters, it quickly builds up lime scale and will stop working if you use anything other than distilled.
