How many cages will one Mist King set up do?

[jerseydevil79]

Hi all,
I have two exotic nutrition cages, both are split in half (they can not see each other ever) to house a total of 4 chameleons. Can someone advise if one mist king will work with my set up? If it will work, I do know I will have to purchase more parts to get it the way it should be. I really just need to know if I am better off with two units or one. The cages are side by side for reference. I am at work and do not have a picture available currently.

It is capable to run up to 10 nozzles.

^^^ The starter system will run a total of 10 nozzles, keeping in mind that for example, a double nozzle = 2 nozzles. The next one up, the ultimate system will run a total of 20 nozzles and the advanced system runs up to 70 nozzles.

Thank you. I think I am safer to go with the ultimate system (upgraded pump and more nozzles). Would you agree?

It depends on how many chameleons and how many misting nozzles you prefer for each. However, from experience I know just how quickly the chameleons and nozzles add up. The ultimate system is a safe choice.

No, the starter system is perfectly capable of running up to 10. You just have to purchase the correct nozzles for your line that your running. You need to really watch those cages though. They are not made for constant water on their surfaces as they are for small mammals not chameleons. Some of these types of cages will start to rust at the connections along with the pan in the bottom.

Another trick is replace the nozzles. You can tune the pattern and the flow amount.

I appreciate your feedback about the safety of the cages. I have cats and these are cat proof. I have lined the tops with metal screen for proper UVB exposure and will be vigilant to watch for rust.

you could always use some sort of paint/sealant if it became a problem

Oh I hope you did not think I was bashing your choice of cage. I just wanted to make sure you knew there is risk of rusting.
