At first glance you have a very nice set-up!
However its of no use for your captives, that watering system dose nothing for your lizard (except maybe stress) a much better way to use your water system and way more usable for your lizards, would be to make it flow on one of the walls covered with cork or similar material your lizards can cling to, this way you can use more then halve the enclosure floor for nesting material. The only real use for a water system is to allow atmospheric humidity, becarie don’t really need much anyway, and they do drink from a bowl or any water source, of course a water system like yours can occasioned much more problems then benefits. Iv been keeping my prasinus group in the 40-65% humidity rang for 17 years and never sprayed them. Clean accessible water and proper heat is far more beneficial then any types of watering drip system.

Sorry if you don’t like my commentary, but its not intended for you but your lizards.
