Zoo Med The Big Dripper

The Zoo Med Big Dripper is a large-capacity reptile water dripper designed to provide a steady source of dripping water inside the enclosure. By simulating droplets left by natural rainfall, it can encourage drinking in reptiles that may not readily recognise standing water in a bowl.

Its generous 1 gallon capacity, approximately 3.8 litres, provides a substantial water reserve for regular use. The folding handle lid allows the unit to be suspended above the enclosure, while the adjustable outlet lets you control the rate at which the water drips.

This type of setup is especially useful for arboreal reptiles such as chameleons and some geckos, which naturally drink droplets collecting on leaves while remaining safely above ground level.

• Fill the reservoir with fresh, clean water and secure the lid.
• Use the folding handle lid to suspend the unit securely above the enclosure.
• Position the outlet so droplets fall onto the leaves of a live or artificial plant, or another suitable surface from which your reptile can drink.
• Adjust the valve to achieve an appropriate, steady dripping rate.
• Check the water level and the collection or drainage area regularly to prevent excessive water accumulating inside the enclosure.

This is a gravity-fed dripper, not a powered pump, automatic misting system or heating appliance.

• Ideal for arboreal reptiles that naturally drink rainfall or droplets from leaves.
• Particularly useful for chameleons and suitable tree-dwelling geckos.
• Helps provide moving water for reptiles that may be reluctant to drink from a standing water bowl.
• Can contribute to enclosure humidity as the water drips and collects on surrounding foliage.
• The larger reservoir is well suited to setups requiring greater capacity than the Little Dripper provides.
