Well i have had this on my cages for about 7 months now. I was a lil reserved about posting b4 because Kevin from AquaZamp has an amazing product and i don't want to take any credit or business away from him. But in light of all the recent postings about "raindomes" . Here is mine.
I give credit where credit is due and Kevin's version is veryyy well made and well worth what he has it MSRPed at. I just needed something a little smaller due to space restrictions with the canopy/lighting hood at the top of this cage.
This one is on a ExoTerra Monsoon system. I'll be getting a AquaZamp system soon for my other cages.

One of my females "Sarah" under the dome.
Step 1: I use a 32oz plastic container. I find it to be a bit taller and more vertical surface area. Makes for a condense droplet patch on the screen. You can use whatever you like. The whole idea is just to contain the mist and accumulate it on the screen to form rain like drops.
Step 2: Drill or cut a hole in the middle of the bottom of the container for your nozzle. (you want a snug fit)
Step 3: Fit your misting nozzle and hot glue or silicone in place (allow a few hours to dry)
Step 4: To attach it firmly to the top of your screened cage you'd want to drill small holes around the rim of the container , then use small zip-ties to fix it to the screen top (3-5 will be enough to secure it in place). It just so heppened that this container fit snug under a wooden bar in my canopy so i didn't have to use the zip-tie method to keep it secure.
Step 5: Now it's just a matter of running your tubing from your pump to the nozzle.
Step 6: Make sure to place the "rain dome" over a branch, vine or plant so your Chams have access to it. This will also provide the perfect drinking opportunity for them.
