Setup an automatic water dripping system for all my chameleon enclosures

[Maximus_Cham]

I setup an automatic water dripping system for all my chameleon enclsoures. Bought the parts from amazon and home depot. Plug the pump into a smart plug so I can schedule the time and duration for the system to run each day. It is working great. Speed of the drip can be adjusted as needed.

What tubing are you using? And thank you so much for posting this! I'm going away and don't want my pet sitters to do anything except feed and check water levels.

Almost the exact same thing I tried once... Watch your water reservoir with the pump though. It can get gross and slimy.

Understood. I am using filtered well water so hopefully it won't be too bad. The water in my misting system seems to be fine so far.

Just standard 1/4" tubing that comes with most misting system.

Yeah it is the reservoir and the pump that will need consistent cleaning. The heat from the pump makes the sitting water get slimy with like a film on top of it.
