Hi Ed,
Yes, I thought about the potential of URI and possible other problems. I work form home so I can monitor it closely which I do and since she has been hanging out under her new dripper I sometimes don't run it at all. The fact that the humidifier is on the bottom of the cage and she is 3 ' away it just really mists and it is a little one, not a room size one. I have tried, to absolutely no avail, to keep the overall room humidity up but it is so dry here in the winter. I have had my big ultrasonic and evaporative on together and I barely get the room over about 50%.
But I agree, I certainly wouldn't want one of those misting directly on her, if for no other reason is that it is cool mist.

>>As for the foggers. IMO it's a very bad idea to expose chams directly to the fog for more than a very brief period. I used to use PVC tubing to directly ultrasonic humidifiers directly into all my cages. I've since gotten rid of the PVC tubing and simply use the humidifers to keep the entire room humidity up. On the one cage where I still have the PVC I have the fog directed upward, away from the cages. My chams have been much healthier since I made this change. Also the remaining PVC is angled so that no water can pool in it and breed bacteria.
