I am ready to activate my misting system (can't beleive how long it took to get all the parts). I have a Promist 60 pump, and Mistking nozzles. I have the inline heater Dave Weldon recommended in his thread, so the mist will be warmer than room temperature,
Although I have a water collection pan under each of the 6 cages, I would like to mist long enough to meet the Chams needs (I can increase and decrease the flow per cage by species), but still have the cage plants and floor dry out between mistings. In the ideal world, I would like my water collection pans to be dried out between mistings, if that is possible.
If I need to "think more like a monsoon when watering your Chameleons" I have no problem doing that, I am open to hearing all points of view. After reading watering threads, my initial direction is to mist just after the lights activate, perhaps 2 more times in the day, and a final before lights out.
Will 20 minutes give enough misting time to activate drinking, and will 20 minutes of mist begin to fill my collection trays?
Thanks in advance, and especially to Dave Weldon who walked me through this process.
