I currently have a 18x18x36 setup for a baby panther. And two nozzles is 1 to many. I believe you are using a 24x24x36 terrarium. The double mist is nice but will saturate the area very quickly. Use the one nozzle and just mist longer. After setting up my glass terrarium. Regarding misting...

I can never find the little guy. he hides behind the plant to back right or in the bromeliad leaves.

So i found my new little guy, Ambilobe panther (male) that is about 3 months old hanging upside down from the screen at the top of the cage where it is a toasty 108 degrees fahrenheit... I know very bad. This is the first I have seen him do this. Only had him 4 days. When the cage mists the...

Any advice here from anyone using bio-active soil and how to get it to drain correctly? I am using reptisoil with added activated carbon to help it drain a little more. But the water is just building up on the dirt rather than draining.... If anyone has some input on how to improve this...

Unfortunately my setup cost more than what I wanted and is not working as anticipated.. There is always something to fine tune...

I had the same issue, I had to abandon my waterfall temporarily. Did you add a drain on the bottom of the tank? I love the cage design though.

sorry Yes on their direct website they are only $5.00 and amazon is more . They are pretty self explanatory to make yourself if you wanted too.

I would have to measure but i believe the cage edges are 1/2" thick. making the inside dimensions 23x23x47

I just did a similar setup and opted out of coconut husk due to indigestion issue but went with moss.

While I agree with @xrowdac. It also looks very heavily planted in those areas. Maybe all you need to do is to trim a leaf or two to allow more air flow to dry out those specific locations.

so it works. but not in a way I am satisfied. The water is dirty and mercy even after running through a micron sock and filter floss. The bigger problem is that the soil is not draining properly. I either have to remove a ton of soil or replace with marine rocks. I am think of removing the soil...

If you are worried that the fan will disturb the chameleon, which it might. Then get a Brushless PC fan and use an arduino to control the speed. I personally feel allowing the enclosure to dry out at night is a good thing. I am fighting this issue right now.

Finally just about complete. This pic is with all the plants (live and fake, some more branches). I still need to add the hydro balls and reptisoil... But love the look so far.

Too much humidity can cause URI's. Not enough humidity can cause URI. Mold and bacteria growth can cause URI's. If the fan is not waking up or disturbing the chameleon I would let it run at night. that way you know for sure it is 100% dry and not allowing mold or bacteria to grow.

an extra nozzle T assembly is an extra $14.00 and the screen wedges are only $9.50 when bought with the starter kit.

If he wanted to get complicated an change the speed of the fan he could use an arduino. The simplest solution would be to use an outlet timer like you suggested and a DC power supply.

Fair enough, he would still need a 12V DC power supply if he doesnt already have one though

That looks like a european style plug, not mention he said in the title he is using a PC fan. Pc fans generally run off of 12 volts DC. Cheapest way would be to get a 120V timer from home depot. Then use any 12V power adapter anything like this would do the trick...
