misting lights and drainage question

[mychamtini112012]

This summer I am making a large cage that will be running three nozzles from an aquazamp system. I have most of the construction part figured out, just have a few more questions.

I want to run my system with longer misting sessions, around two ten minute sessions and one five minute. Should I also put in short sessions too.?

My lights right now turn on at 7:30 and are off at 9:30. Is this to long.? Should I change the tines.?

I also am looking for a good drainage system I can use. Any ideas.?

Also, is there a such thing as a linear basking bulb.?

This will all depend on the chameleons and the region you live in and so forth. Mistcycles are like a retainer. Their individually unique. So you will have to look at all the info, and see what is best for your situation.

Sounds fine

I use metal rod type shelving, with holes drilled in the bottom of the cage, set over a tub.

Also, is there a such thing as a linear basking bulb.?

No.
Flourecent bulbs put out no significant heat.

Good luck

Okay. They'll be a panther inside it. So I didn't know if that would be good enough or not.

Do you have a picture of your drainage system.?

Yes.

You can get the idea.
You could set the cage on anything, put holes in the bottom, the wtaer is going to run out the bottom, so you put a catch tub underneath.
