Hey,
I got rid of drippers a while back. In my opinion, it is an unnecessary evil. Chameleons are arboreal(live in the trees). There are no large pools of water in the canopy of the jungle, which is why chams don't drink out of waterbowls. I strongly advise you to take out the waterfalls. I have used stor bought, and custom ones, and no matter what way you make it, it is a death waiting to happen. I have made cusom ones with a resoivoir outside the cage, with only tubing inside. Doesn't work either. They harbor parasites, and create bacteria, which will slowly and surely kill your chameleon. The best way BY FAR in my opinion is an automatic mysting system. Since you only have this one cham I am guessing, buy a cheap one, like the Mr. Moisture(about $100) or the habbamist(about $40). Each will be well worth the money. If adjusted right, no water will form on the bottom of the cage, but the leaves will have enough water for him to drink off of.
