    Dumb Question, but is there such thing as a "too big" enclosure?

    I am thinking of getting a juvenile Jackson's and I already have a 24inx24inx48in screen cage, which seems huge when compared to the small cham. Would an enclosure that size cause any problems for the Jackson's?

    Is automatic misting every two hours for two minutes too much?

    I have the monsoon solo which is great, but the options that make the most sense are every four hours or every two hours. Four hours doesn't seem enough considering I don't have a dripper and would prefer not to get one. I have live plants to the mister helps water them as well. I would like to...

    How long should I keep my dripper dripping?

    So I have a dripper going on in my veiled 24 by 48 enclosure, and I'm wondering how long I should let it drip. I worry about pools of water collecting on the bottom, and the driftwood constantly being wet. I do not have an automatic dripped or any substrate, and hand mist him twice a day.
