Little Dripper catching dish

[Tommy1449]

I just bought a veiled chameleon a few weeks ago, I noticed that she really hates when I mist her cage so I have hooked up a dripper system that she prefers. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for the dish to catch the water. The one I have in there now is to small, and I have noticed the crickets like to commit suicide by jumping in. Does anyone know of a dish that has a screen on the top to keep the crickets out? Any other advice would be appreciated too I'm new to caring for a chameleon.

A good idea would be to put a big live plant like an umbrella, pothos, or ficus in the center with a water catching pot and mist straight into the plant. Would help a little if you put a pic of your enclosure.

Even if you have a dripper you'll will still have to mist that is the main way to keep your humidity level correct. Just don't spray it directly on him.

I use screening/netting over an empty plant pot with a rubberband to keep it attached. I saw something like this online and it keeps bugs and chams from falling in. I flooded a few plants before I started using the covered pot instead.

I hope the pictures aren't to horrible.
