Ways to keep misted water in enclosure

[Lacrowell]

I just moved my female into a larger screen cage and I'm having issues with my misting system misting outside the enclosure. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and possible ways to keep it from happening other than using a shower curtain. I want something that looks natural and still allows air flow. Currently I have draped a towel over the side that it leaks out of but I'm always afraid that the dome light will touch it and start a fire.

If you happen to be using a mistking, you can order a rain nozzle, which will go on top of the cage and direct the mist straight down, while also creating a rain effect:

If it's just the one side, I'd use the film that's for keeping drafts out around windows. It comes with 2 sided tape and shrinks to fit with a hairdryer. I'd put it on the outside of the enclosure.

Holy crap, that's brilliant. I was just gonna get shower curtains, but I was thinking of a neat, clean way to attach them. This might have just solved my problem. Thanks!

You're welcome. I can't credit for the idea, though. I read about it here.

Hey, do I need to worry about the heat from the basking light doing anything to the plastic? I assume not since you're already blowing it with a hot hairdryer at over 100 degrees or so...

Shouldn't be a problem, as long as you're not putting the film on the top of the cage. It never reacted to the basking light on the cage I used it on. I used it on a side, and the basking light was on the top. I've also used plastic cut to fit, and that worked fine, too.
