Timer suggestions

[joshuaseidman94]

Hey guys,
So I am getting my panther chameleon this week and I am trying to prepare as best I can. I got my reptisun 5.0 and my basking bulb as well as a misting machine. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions as far as timers go for the lights and the mister. I am primarily worried about the mister. I need it to go off a few times a day and am having trouble finding an outlet timer that will turn on/off multiple times a day. Do you guys use a specific timer that you would recommend?
As far as the lights go I figure I will just get a 24hr timer and set it to go on/off every 12 hours.
Thanks so much for all the help =)

I use these timers because they allow programming to the second.

Off the top of my head I could not say what brand I used. However I could not have kept chameleons without timers during college. They are great especially if you have got a busy schedule.

This is what I have:

http://www.amazon.com/Zilla-11893-D...F8&qid=1391983864&sr=8-1&keywords=zilla+timer
http://www.mistking.com/Digital-Seconds-Timer.html

I have the Zilla timer set on the traditional 12-ON/12-OFF cycle for the lights. I have the mistking timer plugged into one of the "always on" outlets in the zilla timer. This has worked really well for me.

To make everything fit, I used the blue outlets for "day" and the yellow outlets for "night". I have a plug splitter for the lights that is plugged into a blue outlet. The mistking and humidifier (for winter) are plugged into the white "always on" plugs.

Just be sure if you go a route like this that you keep track of how much power (usually adding up the amps works fine) you are drawing from the Zilla timer with all the devices. You don't want to overload it and blow something... or start a fire.
