Mistking

[froggielog]

I have questions with the mistking,
- is their a lot of water that collects in the cage after each mist?
- should you have a shower curtain or some plexi glass attached to the wall to keep the water from damaging it?
- would a mistking damage the surface that the cage is resting on?
Thanks!

Hey,

I would suggest some type of drainage system with the use of a Mistking.
I would point the mistaking nozzles facing away from the waall, this way itwont cause any problems. The nozzles won't damage the cage. The bucket and pump is uaully left on the floor.

BeBoSON is correct, you WILL need drainage for a chameleon. Its just kinda mandantory for indoors I have a mistking, I run two nozzles in a cage, and one nozzle on my wall in a free range setup. There is ZERO water that comes out of the 2x2x4 cage, thats with two nozzles. They sell a regulator valve that comes with the ultimate setup to adjust the spray if your worried about it. I use one on the freerange nozzle. It turns on 8 times a day, for a total of probably 20-30min total. I have no issues with water going where I dont want it to. Just drill a hole in the bottom of the cage, and put a bucket/tote bin to collect it.

EDIT:
I dont use a shower curtain or anything on the outside of the cage, just direct the nozzles from the corner inward.
The amount of water build-up will depend on how much you are setting it to spray. This will depend on your species, location, ect.
My free range nzzle is pointed directly at a shefflera, and the water doesnt go past the foliage really, just collects on the leaves and drops down into a tray with metal grating on top to hold the plants. If your concerned about water damage, just know that the nozzles arent going to be spraying water everywhere like a hose. Its a VERY fine mist, and the nozzles are VERY easy to direct, and when you include the regulator valve(to adjust the pressure therefore the range of the mist) I find the mistking to be very easy to control and adjust. So with a little common sense you shouldnt have an issue.
