    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is it safe to offer only a drip style waterfall for a veiled? What I'm asking is, will a veiled make an effort to drink and stay well hydrated if there is always flowing water and dripping folliage, or do I have to mist the entire enclosure including the veiled to be sure she drinks? Thanks in advance for any onfo.

I water my veileds enclosure until they start drinking. It helps with the humidity. I also offer a drip cup to use in between. It is just a plastic cup with a pinsize hole in it. I use distilled ice cubes to put in the cup. I water them 2 times a day. I water until they start drinking. Their orates are white so I must be watering enough. I use the ice cubes because it takes a while to start melting. I do not put it right under the chameleon. I also make sure he has eaten before I put the cup on top of the cage. I have 3 adult males and several baby clutches. This system I use is just for adults 6 months or older.
 
Thanks. Here is what I'm doing. Is it enough?

I have a a waterfall that I built in the middle of the cage. It's only 1" in diameter and flows from the top of the enclosure, down a series of leafy vines, and back into the reservoir. It turns on 3 times a day for about 10 minutes, and I see her drinking from the leaves sometimes, but she also drinks when I spray her. Will she drink enough from the waterfall or do I have to mist her, too. The water fall has 2 steady streams that flow, not a dripper. Thanks.
