If you get a veiled, you don't really need both, thought they can help. Veileds do not require as much humidity as other species, and can do fine with mistings alone for humidity control. For water, drip systems are best. Veileds can deal with low humidity or high humidity. Adults are eaiser than babies - babies dry out ery fast, and humidity is more important for them. adults can have perfect sheds with infequent mistings -



I now mist all my veileds daily, but in the early days(10 years ago), I misted them every WEEK, and provided water once or twice a week. And they do not have trouble shedding. Dehydration is not an issue with them provided they get water every few days. Other species(just about all of them) will go nut if they go more than a few hours without water.



Regardless of what they can handle, it's best to mist daily - just to make sure. However, for calyptratus, I feel a humidifier or misting system is a bit unnecessary. I hooked up a misting system for the deremensis and melleri -and my frog, but I'm holding off on my veilds. they just don't need it. Since I've had the thing installed, the humidity in the room has gone up, and I can't get my veiled to drink more than every few days - and when he does, he just licks the water on his mouth, and ignores the dripper. They are fantastic at holding water.
