DIY Automated Misting System... Need help!!

[Chamaria]

OK so I'm in the process of building a custom enclosure for my Ambanja Panther and want to build my own mist system. I'm looking for advice from someone who's already done this. What kind of nozzles, pump, timers etc would you recommend? Also as far as drainage goes any ideas? I'm looking to recirculate the water if possible. Also what kind of drainage would you use? I was thinking of a sink drain connected to a PVC pipe that goes into the reservoir. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know anything about building a dyi mist system but I'm going out on a limb to say recirculation of water is probably a no go. There's cricket feces, chameleon feces, and if there's live plants run off from them. I drain my water and it's the color of ice tea from running through the plant soil.

Don't recirculate. You shouldn't go through more than a gallon a day at the most for one cham, so it's not worth the aggressive filtration and treatment that would be needed to keep the water clean.

Somewhere on the forum, someone did a good post on a DIY misting system. I would search that phrase and see what you can find.

OK... So no go on the recirculation of water.. That's a great point. I've looked at some of the DIY Misting systems and can't seem to fine specific info on pumps etc... I'm sure I can figure it out but I'm open to any advice
