Yeah, I have a mist king set up in my cage for about 2 years now. It works great since i can't always be there to hand mist. I also use a dripper too to make sure they stay hydrated. If you decided on a misting system though I would make sure you have a good drainage system as the water will need a place to go.
I checked out mistking and would help out a lot but its the cost. I been working to many hours and only day i get is Sunday. I been using silkworms and eat like two a day works for food. Dehydration is a severe factor right now for me. Drippers are just soaking everything. My girls are doing very well expect male panther. I need like at the grocery store when your getting veggies fruit and a misting comes on.

If you can't afford a good misting system right now, your best bet are going to be drippers and/or making your own misting system. I believe there is a thread that has instructions on how to make a mister for about $50 or so using supplies from home improvement stores. Or, if you have good tap water, you can make a misting system that hooks up directly to a faucet. On ebay, they have patio misting systems that connect to a hose faucet outside and you can use those to make one for your cages IF your water is okay to use for the chameleons. Then just buy a garden hose timer and use that.

I live in North/Central California where it's pretty dry for most of the year, but I have had great success using a forty dollar fogging humidifier set up on top of the cage. You can find them at target, on amazon, at walmart, etc. I like it because the fog falls right into the cage and beads up all over the plants without getting excess water all over the place. Originally I wanted to get a misting system, but I read a ton of reviews on amazon and it seems like the electronic control systems on cheaper brandds don't last very long, and like you, I am always trying to find effective but inexpensive options.
Thank you for your recommendations I will see if I can make one myself or last draw is a mistking. Drippers are a pain in the butt been trying them. I lost my male panther chameleon Tuesday finally gave up. My females are what I have left not eating and not showing signs of bloating eggs. Looking like mbd taking effect.
