Yeah, if you have a puch-pin and a plastic cup you can make a dripper. A bucket, cup, Gladware, all that sorta stuff can be turned into a dripper of you poke a hole in the bottom. If it flows too fast, make a new one with a smaller hole. You can keep debris out of the dripper and keep water from evaporating out by making a lid out of saran wrap or if what you use already has a lid, just use that. The advantages is that its a LOT cheaper than buying one. The downside is you can't adjust the water flow, and it doesn't look as nice I guess.

srry it took so long to respond.
Toadie i'd love to know how far along you are. i was thinking a valve made to control the airflow to airstones and decorations for fishtanks might work to control the water flow and the soft air tubes for the water tubes. i had a vavle for my fish tank im just not sure where it is to try it out

for the moment I just have the plastic cups with pinholes of the anole& gliding lizards and they work fine. but for the iguana I want to figure out the tube so the water bucket can be placed out of the way
