Blue Tongue Skink sneezing when fogger is on?

[feraljaw]

Hello everyone,

I have a six month old Merauke BTS. Every night, I turn on the reptile fogger for 10-15 minutes (along with misting twice a day), however it causes him to sneeze quite a bit. I understand that Blue Tongues sneeze often to rid their nostrils of debris and other unwanted materials, but is it normal for him to be sneezing due to the fog? Has anyone else experienced this?

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I'm concerned that maybe the fog could hurt him some way or another; or that it's bothering him.

Thanks. :')

I'm so sorry this has gone unanswered for so long...
No worries. Sneezing during misting is understandable, and as long as there's no discharge or sounds with breathing, the sneezing during misting should not be any cause for concern.
