It sounds like you're a pretty good thinker and I think you could make your system work.



I'd still be concerned about the total volume of your system. I think less is better with your design.



I'm not sure if I exactly understand the difference between "lift", "head", and "pressure" when it comes to pumps. Regardless, you will need to be concerned about the ability of your pump to pressurize the system (does that make more sense?).



If you have too many or too big of holes, your pump will go through the water quickly and you really won't leave water droplets around the cage as is beneficial for Phelsuma spp.



If you have too few or too small of holes, your pump may not be able to pressurize your system and force the water out.



If you don't meet this threshold you have spent a lot of money on a fancy drip system that will be expensive and hard to clean. If so, I think you'd be better off hiding a resevoir of some type in your cage and simply have several small valves that you would tweak to get the drip rate you want.
