Hi,



When I was designing the cages, I wanted to make them all so that I can move them outside on hot days, or in the shower when dehydrated, ect. individually. The lighting was simple enough (just hung it from above), but the misting nozzles arised a whole new problem.



The misting system I got has a very fine spray, which is why I got it; so that is doesn't over-saturate the cage. But if I put those on top of the cages, the water would not go through the fine screening. Luckily, Pro-Products has a quick connect fitting on each nozzle. So I just made a hole in the top of each cage large enough for the 1/4" tubing to go through, and them from the inside of the cage, the nozzle slips onto the tubing. When I want to take it out, I can just push on the quick connect fitting and it slides right off once again. However, I do not know of any other misting system that has this. But, if you are not going to be moving the cages, then you can just use two washers in between the nozzle and the fitting(hard to explain, easy to do), to "sandwich" the screening in between them, so that no insects can get out. It is rather simple to do.



Also, even though I have a drainage system, for most people it isn't necessary. The isting system does not have to be on for too long each day. However, with mountain chameleons, as you said, it is definetly a plus. Have a good day.
