I have to buy something to keep my cham at a good humidity level. I have a veiled chameleon and wanted to know which one would be more beneficial for him?
 
I would say the mister would be best for both getting humidity up and keeping the leaves and sticks and branches wet for him to drink. A dripper might raise the humidity a little and still provide him with water. The fogger will only raise the humidity and provide no water unless it is really close to a leaf for it to build up on.

How about at the bottom of the cage? I have eco carpet but that doesn't do a good job of absorbing...
 
Might consider a drainage tray. find a plastic containerthat the cage will fit in and prop it up on some blocks so the water will drain out of the cage and the pan will catch it. Drill a hole on the side close to the bottom and either silicone a hose in or use a bulkhead and have it drain in a bucket.
 
Invest in a mistking misting system. They are excellent. It will help hydrate your cam as well as keep humidity at cham specific levels. I have a veiled as well. He only drinks from water collected on leaves. The mist is fine and can be programmed to the second. Very helpful for those of us who work away from home.

As mentioned above a drainage tray is a great idea with a misting system. It saves a ton of work and contributes to a healthier enclosure. Live potted plants will also help you maintain a higher humidity level.
