I am getting a k. Multi and I hear that they drink a lot so I am wondering how much I should spray the cage or get a mist king because i am not home most of the day so how much do they usually eat and drink as an ADULT chameleon?
Mist King is overkill for one cham......even 2 or 3 chams......if you wanna misting system then go for the Exo Terra unit.....can get for around 70-75 bucks off Amazon with free shipping.
With just hand spraying:
Spray in morning, set a dripper up and spray when u get home. Also a humidifier is a good choice for them.....get a cheapy off Amazon...
I keep mine outside from 8am and bring in around 12midnight......she gets sprayed around 3-4 times 30secs to 2mins.
When I had more and a house, kept them outside year round and sprayed more heavily during the summer.
The multi. arent as hard to keep as you might think.....make sure u have alot of foliage since they are a shyer species and even though they are a montane, they can handle higher temps( kept mine in past and now outside even when temps get around 90deg....just make sure u spray more) then alot of other montanes.....
