Drip about 1 drip per second or every two seconds. I do not use a mister but I know alot of people use the MistKing automatic misters. When you mist you want the cage to dry out at some point. So you wanna mist two or three times a time for like 3-5 minutes or so. Don't mist at night before the lights go out. I have a gallon dripper and usually fill it about half way up. I or someone in my household is always here so we have a small tupperware that is shallow to catch the water and it is emptied when full. If you are not going to be home, then you have to figure out some type of drainage, be it towels or whatever. I drip water all day for my chameleon until about 2 hours before the lights go out and then wipe out the bottom of the cage. Always make sure container is shallow enough if your cham was to fall in, he would be able to crawl back out.
