One way is to drill a whole bunch of tiny holes and place a large tupperware container underneath your enclosure to catch all the access water from misting.
Does she appear weak when trying to climb? Possibly not recieving enough uvb lighting? I know that lack of uvb lighting can cause a chameleon or lizard to become lethargic. And eventually develope the MBD (Metabolic bone disease). Not trying to scare you, just want you to be safe then sorry.

If you plan to be gone days at a time, do you plan on having someone coming over to mist your chameleon 3 times a day? It's not fair to the chameleon if you think you can just take off for a few days at a time and he'll be fine until you get home.
I'd also suggest no substrate, so you can monitor your chameleons intake of crickets. Even if you cup feed, I still recommend no substrate. It makes life a whole lot easier on the chameleon keeper.

Yeah, I won't be breeding these 2 panthers. These were pets that I wanted because I love Chameleons.

Thanks for your reply Will. My Chameleon is roughly 16-18 months old. I got him at roughly 1 year old. He was a trade in to the pet shop that sold him to the customer. This Chameleon is super tame and such a sweetheart. I won't be breeding him as I can't be 100% sure of his locale or if he's a...
