Misting multiple chams

[jamest0o0]

So what do you guys do that have different species of chameleons that need different amounts of misting. I have Panthers, but will have a Parsons in the coming months and would also like to keep some other Montanes... I'm thinking I'll just need multiple mistkings eh?

I was wondering the same thing. I'd like to have a three cage display with a panther, veiled, and Jackson's, but I was wondering about misting.

Literally the same thing in doing. I have 3 wooden stands with built in 2 foot substrate bins/drainage to fit 3 dragonstrand large atriums... was going to have them on display; 1 panther, maybe a veiled, and 1 undecided lol... plus I'll have a rack for some xl reptibreeze cages and a parsonii shed I'm building.

I have 2 mistkings and 2 climists loll

Guess that's what it I'll be then! Do you use multiple reservoirs/pumps or just one?

I have a panther inside the house, satanic leaf tail geckos also inside, and a Bradypodian outside. The outside enclosure definitely needs different watering times/durations, especially in the summer. The geckos have completely different watering needs and times. I have 3 different misting systems/reservoirs/timers. Not ideal but that's the only thing we could figure out due to the locations of all the enclosures. Theoretically if the cages are all set up close to each other, multiple misting systems could share one reservoir. Not possible for us.

...this is why some suggest keeping species with similar care needs... Hah! What's the fun in that?

 

[jamest0o0]

Got ya, thanks. I agree lol. personally, I must make things as complicated as possible.

 

[werecat]

Me too! But I see why people specialize.

I have used an inline valve to reduce the amount of water delivered to smaller cages on the end of the line. Unfortunately that won't help with what you are going to need.
Unless you have a self-filling reservoir you will probably need a separate reservoir just to supply the larger amount of water that montane species need.
