Automatic Misting Systems?

[SilverWolf]

I think this might be better in a different section so please forgive me for posting here and if it's a big deal I'll be sure to post anything similar to this in a different part.

So in the next few weeks I am going be out of the house for the entire day. During the day(s) that I am away there will be people here to take care of my chameleon for me. Nevertheless, I need to take some precautions. I am hoping you have some recommendations for an automatic misting system, in case no one is able to spray the cage for him while I'm hone. I have a dripper that will drip all day although he doesn't use it too often. I have an 18x18x36 inch enclosure. This is for a Jackson Chameleon, 4 months old. His name is, Tricky, in case you're wondering.

Everyone has different opions on misting systems. Personally we use MistKing for our enclosures and we have yet to have an issue. They are a bit pricey but well worth the money in my opinion.

If you get any automated misting system it will benefit your water/humidity loving jackson greatly!

ours are set up with mist king as well, but instead of using a smaller bucket, i use one of the 5gal jugs. mist king offers 2 types of timers, minutes and seconds, to figure which is best for your needs. they are also available in several size options, but the best bet for a deal is to order it from their own site and get shipped from canada.

I really love all my mistking systems. Couldn't live without them

I prepared my own misting-lighting-heating system. More details here:

I have pygmy chams and use an ExoTerra Monsoon mist system to keep the cage humidity up as well as a water source. I absolutely love it!

The spray is a very fine mist, not a blast of water. I have one girl that likes to sit right in front of it and wait to be sprayed. It has a good size reservoir (no worries about running dry) and you can purchase additional tubing/nozzles for multiple cages.

Mist king and aquazamp. They both run the same~

the only difference is that Aquazamp is US made.

I have both and they both run great.

MistKing all the way.

I've never had even the slightest issue with mine. It was very easy to set up, and sprays a fine enough mist that my chameleon isn't bothered by it at all, but get plenty of water.
The timer it comes with (if you get the starter kit) is very easy to set up as well and offers tons of customization for your schedule.

I'll let you know how my budget DIY works when the timer gets here.

After my exoterra monsoon fried its own timer (which is VERY common btw with that mister) and gave my cham a respiratory infection I got the mistking.

I love it!

Ive also had experience with zoo med habba mist though and thats a decent one for the cost if you have a smaller budget.
