Super simple outdoor misting system

For those of us who are mechanically challenged, I came across a very, simple idea to provide an outdoor misting system for your chameleons. It is probably old news for the vets of the forum, but I still thought it was great!


I went to a small hardware store (McClendon's) and found this "Nozzle Mist Stick" for $10.00 This stands about 3 feet tall.

Then I picked up a Raintrip Water Timer. What I really liked about this timer is that I can set it up to go off at regular intervals thoughtout the day instead of only once. There is a cover that screws on over the controls to protect the AAA batteries from the water. This was about $26.00 but it was more versatile than the more expensive timers.

It puts out a pretty good mist.

The direction of the wind comes usually from the west so it will carry the mist on down the line of cages.

I know, I know, simple things for simple minds but I thought it was a very simple system for someone "simple" to execute. :rolleyes:
 
That's great, Amy! I have thought about doing something like this but just haven't gotten it done, yet.

$10 for that thing?? They sell those here for like $45!!:eek: (this is why I was taking my sweet ole' time getting it!!)
 
I had to edit my post....:eek: It was $10 for the nozzle but $26 for the timer.
