I'm wondering what the best way to hook a mister up to a Cham cage, and would like to see some photos of anyone's indoor setup with the mister, the water catcher pan, the whole bit. Thanks-Maggie

maggie here's a picture from the inside of one of the cages, they are all set up the same. the the only thing inside the cage is the red nozzle and the washer. there should be another washer on the top of the screen as well to keep the nozzle from popping out OR falling thru. the hole you make to get the just the nozzle inside should be big enough to get the nozzle thru. where are you located?

here it is

Hey Dennis: Is the head of the mister on the inside of the screened cage with the tube going through a hole in the screen. My eyes are bad, I can't completely tell. And what do you have catching all the water? Do you have the bottom drain out or do you dump it every day? I'm wondering because, I'm under the impression(please correct me if I'm in error here) that we should keep the floor and lower perches dry to prevent URI? Thanks-Maggie

maggie just the tip of the nozzle is thru the screen. everything else is outside. the cage bottom is always clean and i use 2 oversized polant saucers on the bottom of the cage. they do a pretty good job. three of the cages i have the plants drink most of the water in the saucer. on the fourth cage i have to siphon it out every couple of days. i'll see if i can get a better picutre for you tomorrow(tuesday).

Hey Dennis! What mist system are you using?

i have both the mr. moisture and the rain maker jr. the picture is of the rainmaker. i willcompletely switching all my cages oer to the rain make system next month. i think it's a better system.
