Misting Machine

[AsaSpades]

I kno Chameleons need an automatic misting machine, but if I use a cage would it work, it seems that they only work in tanks. If anyone knos a good misting machine for a cage can you link me? And I also wanted to kno if a misting machine replaces a dripper?

what kind of cage do you have? a reptarium?

For chams I would get this:

don;t cut corners and get a cheap version ---I did and forgtaboutit---you don't want to know.
For a small cage (tank) the habba mist is good....but for a cham cage go with this system and add to it as you need to.
Here's a good page for cham humidity:

So I dont need a dripper if I have an auto misting machine? Yes a reptiarium AbercrombieGuy.

I made a humidifier last night that seems to work great! I bought a ultrasonic fogger(the bigger version of the two I found). I put it in a covered tub with vents on all sides & bolted it to the top of the cage. It has supplied my enclosure with a constant 50% humidity. Of course this is set up on a humidistat... it is capable of providing a much higher level of humidity if need be.

If set up right, the fog drifting down from the top of the enclosure looks really cool & you don't have the abnoxious noise of a misting machine.

	Cloaca is the posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, urinary, and (usually) genital tracts of certain animal species.All birds, reptiles, and amphibians possess this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces

no you will need a dripper.....they need water movement in order to drink. The mister will just keep your enclosure moist and humid.

ditto, you can alway buy a a waterfall, read up at chameleoncondo.net, but this is pretty and also acts as a humidifyer and the running water gets the attention of the chameleon to drink

Just be careful with waterfalls, they have a tendency to build up bacteria if not kept *very* clean, and most of them are hard to clean very thoroughly.

Yea, my humidifier is for a Boa & only for humidity! Not a source of drinking water for a Cham
