Well I setup the misting system. It wasn't to hard the only problem I ran into was with the T-Splitter. I was unsure how to connect it to the system but then discovered I had to insert it into the output end of the pump. Once I figured that out I was ready to go.
The mister is perfect it's really quiet and makes a pretty fine mist. I can tell Skittles like the mister much better the being sprayed with a bottle.
The biggest disappointment was the timer. The instructions where terrible apparently I had to remove the timer from the wall in order to set the schedule which was really strange. I was considering returning the timer so I unplugged it. Noticed it was still active and tried setting the time then. Everyone worked after that.
My mister went off for 1 minute this morning at 7:30 as planned.
7:30 - 1min
11:30 - 1 min
3:30 - 1 min
4:30 - 1 min
7:30 - 1 min
This is the schedule I have come up with. I may tweak it a little but this is where it will probably stay. Skittles started drinking right away when the mister comes on. He likes to lap it up off the ficus leaves.

Howdy,
My mist system runs for 15 minutes at 8am and again at 2pm. My lights turn on about 6:15am and off at about 6:30pm. From past experience, I have found that my chameleon's drinking response may not trigger for many minutes after the misting starts. Once triggered, they may continue to drink for 5-10-15 minutes. Sometimes they just like to come over and sit under the mist nozzle, taking a shower for the entire time. Other times they sit off in the dry area completely avoiding the shower. I do use pre-heated water which makes the misting session more inviting.
