Auto-Mist quick Question

downtown Oct 23, 2003 02:54 AM

I own a 3 month old veiled chameleon and was wondering how much should I set the sprayer to? I had it set to spray 15 seconds every hour but I've heard that's too much.
Should I set it to spray 15 seconds every 3 hours or every 6 hours??

I have a haba mist system and i set it to 45 seconds every 3 hours. Honestly tho, i still have to use a spray bottle just so i can SEE her drink for my own conscience. Shes moving into a new cage with a screen bottom so i can finally have a constant drip system also.

I have an Habba Mist also. I changed the setting from spraying once an hour for 15 sec. to spraying 30 sec. every 3 hours.

I spray 4 times a day for 4 minutes at a time. All water is evap before the next spray as well.

7:00am UVB lights come on
7:45 Hot spot light turns on
8:30 1st shower
10:30 second shower
5:30 third shower
7:00 pm Hot spot light goes out
7:30 4th shower
7:45 Fan comes on to evap water and cool cage for night temp
8:00 Fan goes off.
8:30 UVB light goes off.

X10 timers are the best.
