zlew - you can find parts at home depot if you need on the spot, but if you aren't in any rush order from Mist King. I currently have 3 nozzles going and my cage looks like a zoo exhibit when the mist system turns on.
Crazy - I have a reptibreeze cage (screened cage) that's why I opted for a misting system, but I have read if you are using a glass terrarium foggers help a great deal. As far as the horror stories of flooding issues, I think that may be because of poor planning. I only have one cage with a 2...
jannb + pattycake, thank you both. I feel like an overprotective parent with Calypso and I don't even have kids, lol.
jannb, I'm very open to any suggestions to help maintain the best conditions for Calypso. I will definitely be checking out the link you sent.
Hey Crazy,
I personally have a mist king system, but from all the reading I have done I would go with a fogger system for a glass terrarium. It should keep your humidity up and you should see droplets on your leaves. Are you using live plants? Live plants would help with humidity too. I'm...
I would like to introduce my new baby veiled chameleon, Calypso. I received him on Friday from FL Chams, and this has been an all so new and exciting experience for me. I can't wait to see his colors come in.

Does anyone use UVB meters to monitor their UVB bulbs? Just wondering, I'm trying to be more cost efficient when buying bulbs and don't want to be throwing money out when the bulb is still useful.
zippity - That sounds like a pretty sweet setup that I bet a lot of people would be interested in. If any of us here on chameleon forums can help, let us know.
In my opinion, as long as there isn't too much heat and there is a place for your Cham to hide when it's looking for shade, there shouldn't be a problem. Also it is important to keep your light above the cage so your Cham doesn't end up looking directly at the lighting which may cause some...
absolutbill - Good idea about getting a local restaurant to save some flats for you.
Mike Fisher + laurie - I will be checking my extra flats(when I get some) for crix often, lol
JHMills - Good find on the flats. These things drain your pocket after some time.
