Misting

I have a little dripper that drips water from the top of the cage into their bowl. I've been reading the site for almost 4 hours and can't really tell if thats a good idea or should I have it dripping onto their bush instead of the water. I also use a water bottle to mist them that's ok right?

You want to have it drip on the plants. Thats how they drink, off the leaves. Misting and a dripper should both be used. You should mist at least three times a day.

My drippers have tubes (aquarium air hose)that hang into the cages. Most of my chams lick the drips right from the end of the hose, rather than wait for it to splash onto the leaves and branches below. So long as they can see the water drops somewhere (not just as they fall through the air), I think you're okay. But off of leaves and such is the more natural way for them to drink.

Awesome I will be changing this out today. Right now I have the hose about 1/4 of a inch hanging from the top of the cage dripping into the water bowl. I wish I would of seen this site before putting these guys through this.
 
So I'm adding everything to my cart on RS and was wondering what Water Conditioner should I get?
