So I have pulled a late night setting up my chams new setup, he got tired of me and decided to go to bed I hope he isnt too stressed out

I started by taking a nightstand off craigslist and cutting the top off for drainage
I then put a drainpan underneath that is bigger than my water reservoir so there is no possibility of it overfilling and put a valve on it for easy drainage into a 5 gallon bucket when its time to empty
The reservoir is kept in my closet with the lid on
My mist intervals are 10 minutes 15 minutes after lights on at 8:15
every 2 hours there is another 5 minute misting
at 8:15 there is another 10 minute misting
at 9:00 is lights out
lights are on a timer as well and after they go off there is a humitifier to provide humidity at night which also is on a timer
Does this sound like a correct setup, this is my first one and I really dont know what the preferred misting schedules should be
The other pic in the collection is my food bowl, a half gallon milk jug with the side cut out and the mesh sand paper that you use on drywall sanding poles so my crickets can climb on the side and my cham can see them and it doesnt hurt his tongue
Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks everyone
