Raising the enclosure never even occured to me. I like that idea a lot. Thank you!

It looked so perfect in the nursery! LOL. $60 later.....I tried to pull it from it's pot and remove soil from below, but it just wasn't enough. It may have to be the one for now as I search for a replacement. I don't want to prune it too much as all the foliage is at the top.

Wondering if I should find something smaller. This thing barely fits in the enclosure! LOL

Guess I really got to get my ass in gear and get my temp gun!

The pucks seem ok. I am just trying to clean up the top. The dome style heating lights would mean a very deep hood. Xenon concerns me a bit though to be honest. I even considered installing some halogen recessed lights with a GU-10 bulb for basking. Thank you for the feedback about an...

That's awesome!

On second thought the zone valve wouldn't do it.....I don't think it could handle the pressure drop after its closed (rated at 20 PSI) But a motorized ball valve would be perfect. These come in 1" to 1/4" sizes and are mechanically normally closed. Price point is excellent too...

Have you ever tried a mister nozzle at standard household pressure? I've had garden type mister hooked up on my patio and they worked well. I'd bet that just running household water (mine is softened) through a 5 or ten micron carbon block filter would be more than adequate for misting. I...

Actually, having the mistking set to the household water never crossed my mind for all the reasons you just mentioned. I figured I'd keep two five gallon buckets in the stand I'm building. One to supply the mister and one to drain into. That actually has me wondering how much pressure the pump...

Does everyone seem to pretty much just set their hoses on the screen and let it drop down through? I gotta admit that makes my OCD flare up something fierce! I would prefer to see that hose drop into the enclosure with a nice graceful curve extending in towards the center of the enclosure. Hey...

That video is actually Super helpful. We've never had a chameleon before, so to see how they do that is at least a good way to get started.

Still no chameleon. Still getting together all the info that I need/want for the enclosure. I've got the enclosure and lights figured. I'm currently building a stand and hood. UVB bulb will be in shortly. MistKing should be here on Friday. Currently I'm chewing on the dripper. I have a nice...

You are thinking the puck lights specifically for basking?

This is what I use for tape light. I'm a contractor constantly installing lights under and in cabinets. The diffuser is actually really nice and makes it look like a real professional light fixture Muzata LED Channel System with Milky White Cover Lens, Silver Aluminum Extrusion Profile Housing...

The enclosure I'll be using ( ordered but not delivered yet) is the Reptibreezedeluxe. It's 24x24x48 with screens top and sides, but an acrylic panel for the front door

Hey Redman...Sure I'd like some pics of what you are describing! I was thinking of maybe stringing up some stubby type misters pointing straight down inside the enclosure to control the water that would exit the enclosure a little more...

I appreciate the feedback. Actually though, the Ultimate is $100 more. On Mistkings site you can add the dual nozzle and ugraded pump for $40. Or just upgrade to a dual nozzle for $5. I wouldn't need any of the extra fittings or tubing. All that stuff is just Jaco fittings anyway. I've got tons...

I've decided to purchase the Mistking starter kit. I am thinking two or three nozzles will be plenty. We don't have a Chameleon yet, and I will have the enclosure completely set up before we purchase..... 2 questions..... 1: If I have the timer going for three times daily, will I still need...

This is the one I got... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014Z4IOC2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I like the idea of the acrylic panel in front instead of screening, but we will see if the reality is a good as the idea. It has some mixed reviews.... I'm acutally leaning...
