Can a mister be used as a substitute to a shower? I realize I would need to let it run for almost an hour but, I have the ability to put his cage outside. Also, would it be better to heat the water up first?

The water will fly through the air and lose any heat its been attributed with by the time it hits the chameleon.
Long misting sessions and a shower session are going to have the same effect.
If that answers the question.
Heating up the water isnt going to do much.

Actually, as the water jets through the misting nozzle, the velocity of the water and the pressure drop cause an immediate drop in temperature. Trust me, I'm an engineer

I've found that misting is not really the best way to hydrate a chameleon though. A natural rain like method is the best. This is where the AquaZamp RainDome came from. It is so natural it just triggers their drinking instinct. It allows drinking, soaking and eye cleaning. Better shedding, cleaner eyes and healthier chameleons is the outcome.
Misting can be terroizing to some chameleons. They might hide during the misting and then come out after the mist has stopped to drink from the leaves.
Mike,
Try 1/4 inch soaker hose inside the cage intertwined around branches.

Thanks Nick. I didn't even know they made soaker hoses that small. I may have to do some experimenting.....
