I told u to buy shop lights. Scratch that. If u want a plant to grow indoors and supply 30000 lumens to ur cham u need t5 lighting. They sell 4ft 4 lamp t5ho fixtures for 125 a pop at home depot. You want the 5000 k. Also for uvb u will need a powersun with a solar meter. For basking heat...

Ultrasonic humidifier with a.... wait for it...... FAN!!

U wont b able to raise the humidity in the cage alone. U have to humidify the room. With a humidifier and a fan. Both r necessary. Spraying the cage will also not raise the humidity to seventy or even forty. PS humidity wrecks electronics

Not really that misleading because I explained that I am still trying to work it all out . See where it says. Not sure I fully understand drainage.

No prob. I busted my computer. That's why I'm so persistent. The things we do for our little guys. Jeez

High humidity wrecks electronics. It basically needs its own room. Or keep humidity at sixty. I Google'd it. Above sixty five ur toast. I think for the cham and the plants its most important to keep it above where it would be which is like thirty percent. But to raise it at all u need...

Yes outside the cage. Doesn't need to blow into cage. U r humidifying the room. Probably best not to blow into cage.

U have to humidify the room. U need two components. Absolutely necessary. A ultrasonic humidifier and. A fan. U need both. A magnetic vent deflector can deflect air conditioning from his area. Watch for drafts. High humidity will wreck electronics. Remember u have to have the humidifier...

I could not raise humidity. Then one day I tried a sonic humidifier. Still at forty percent. Humidity landing on the floor. Then one day I added the fan. Voila 70 percent instant rainforest

And water fountain bad idea cuz the little Guy will poo in it

http://postimage.org/image/5y44hwphn/ to me water that falls to the floor seems unnecessary. I just try to keep the plant happy. I'm still researching how to water a cham but I bet I go w a hamster bottle to avoid damage to foliage.

Here's a thing. The humidifier wont work with out the fan. Humidity over sixty percent will wreck ur electronics. I think the humgidity is supposed to drop at night along w the temp.

The most important thing is the tree. Go to a nursery. I found a good one for like forty bucks. The plant will make u or break u. I did the same thing w my first cham. U wanna get this right the first time or ur in for some shopping. Get help from someone who can build w tools...

Not sure I fully understand drainage. I think the floor should just b a plain piece of fabricated wood. Any wood. Because it shouldn't get wet. The only drainage necessary is for the tree. And any potted plant will drain into a cheap basic water tray or reservoir. The cham wants to drink...
