heres what i did...

-----

if u look u may see the "mist" coming out and also a moth on the mister nozzle lol

-----

some parts i used ... mister nozzle is made by orbit and was bought at home depot .. humidifier was bought from walgreens. the grommet i shaved a bit off on one side and slipped it on the reducer ( iforget what it was exactly) and slid it into the opening where the "mist" comes out of humidifier.

i have yet to try something like that, maybe i should. that way i could automate everything, except feeding. i just use a dripper right now for my 2 large cages. i have though about a humidifer but havent had time tio mess with it

Yea I had heard of others doing it for like frogs and other reptiles. I used 1/2 inc pvc pipe. sometimes the enclosure gets all foggy in the morning and sometimes my cham goes right under the "jets" when the humidifier is on. Really helps to keep the humidity up in the enclosure. It comes on every other hour for an hour. Just bought a power strip from petsmart that has a built in timer for two of the outlets. I have the lights plugged into those. I started with a dripper but found it unsatisfactory.... was always emptying the catch cup frequently and refilling the bottle too. Your cages outside? you could rig a sprinkler valve with a timer hooked to a hose and pvc pipe to a misting system maybe even add a water filter before the misters? If not I use a habba mist auto mister and it sprays every 3 hours for 30 seconds now onot a pothos (thinking of adding another nozzle above the ficus). Previously it was every hour for 15 seconds.and then i just use a wet vac to suck out the moisture that accumalets in the bottom of the plastic tubin my enclosure.
