Best way to hang misting system?

[emilhayek]

So my cage finally came in from amazon. it’s a repto-breeze XL sitting on a repti-breeze stand with shelf and i’m not sure if i should run the tube through the bottom or make a hole on the top side then zip tie the nozzle into place, any suggestions? i have a monsoon solo. going to buy plants right now!!

There is something called a "grommet" or a "bulkhead" that you can look into. Basically you cut a medium hole in the mesh, on the side (the top/bottom are going to get abused anyway, so i wouldnt further it with a hole) and then said device clamps on both sides of the mesh to keep it from fraying/bugs escaping. Then you just feed the tube through.

Here is one with a 1" hole that you may be able to fit the entire nozzle through:

I think you could make one of these pretty easy

I have the exact same enclosure and misting system! I will attach pictures of how I set mine up, its probably not the best option so I would listen to the others but if you are super paranoid about bugs escaping your enclosure like me, I couldnt bring myself to cutting a whole in the enclosure. Instead I just set my mister up on the closest table and ran my misting wire through the side of the enclosure. Its is kind of hard to explain but I will attach photos. Like I said before, this definetly isn't the best option but its what worked for me so I thought I'd share!

I had a small hole in the top of my old enclosure for the monsoon I use, but in the new enclosure I have.. I have found I just use it to spray the plants down and then I spray the top of the enclosure and it forms droplets that drip down and my chameleon really enjoys this. I don't have it hooked up lol it's more of an expensive spray bottle ha ha but I like it much much better than using a spray bottle as the mist it produces is perfect.

Curious to see what you end up going with though!

I used a piece of plastic that I had cut from a storage tote lid. Drilled a hole, self tapping screws and done.

yeah i kinda did this! i just cut a hole on the top side of the enclosure, put two washers (one on each side of the screen, super glue and ran the tube through, perfect fit!!

Yeah, $15+ for a hunk of plastic & 4 screws...

Try a search for corner plate.
The screws should be easy.

Unfortunately, my experiences with super glue on enclosures have been... abysmal.
I'm using GE Silicone 1 for most things now. Just have to let it cure completely (until the fumes are gone).
