After reading the last post, I too am wondering if it is common to have a fogger for a Hermanns.

How many have them? Are they neccessary or a luxury item?

I don't have one. I spray Emrys' enclosure with a water bottle each morning, and soak him each evening.

I don't think it's needed, I have it because it wasn't being used.. If you just do what Cheryl said and spray your enclosure with water you will be fine...

A fogger isn't necessary for Hermann's or any other Testudo species. But there does need to be some way to maintain an ambient air humdity of 50-65% within the enclosure. If that's what the fogger is doing and it's working well then I'd use it. But I would make sure that it is not raising humidity too high or creating excessive dampness.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't really worried about Shelldon per se, just wondering if it was common to have foggers. They do seem pretty neat though!!
