Does Rebels cage look like it has enough coverage and walkways? I just redid his cage this weekend and added the hanging pathos. To me the bottom looks a little bare but he is never down there unless hes sneaking a drink from a small puddle from the dripper. ( he was drinking from a waterfall when I purchased him from a pet store and I cant seem to break his habit of drinking from puddles) I have several drain holes and water doesn't stay puddled long.
Your Cham isn't "breaking" his habit because basically has nothing to drink from. You need to add a mature umbrella plant that has more then 10 leaves and to add paper towels on the ground to soak up the puddles. Or make a proper drainage system. It's surprising that the possible bacteria breeding in his drinking puddles hasn't caused an illness.
Maybe the picture isn't clear enough but the middle and top are packed with live plants. I have a hibiscus and a very large pothos hanging. There are way more than 10 leaves to drink from. He has a dripper (drips in two places..one a little slower than the other and both drip onto pothos leaves) going all day and I mist him several times a day for aprox. 4 minutes each time. I see him drink from the dripper and during misting every day so its not because he has nothing to drink from. My question was about the bottom of his cage. Like I stated in my post there are several (more than 5) drain holes and the water drains very quickly. You can watch the water drain out of the drain holes. The cage dries completely(except where the dripper drips) between mistings and is dry before lights out. If you read all of my posts I am very picky about how I do things for Rebel.
