Thanks for all the input. I will at least install it to help keep the soil/sand moist.

If that is the case, you would be sticking your head into a varanid cage more than me which is far too often. LOL.

Seriously though, I am fairly certain that the ground would get too saturated pretty fast. You would be very limmited to how often you can make it rain in the cage. This would make setting up a system like that a complete waste. All you would need to is offer a proper set up with a proper substrate and just dump some water in the cage once in a while.

I personally feel that adding bells and whistles just complicates a thing that is not really complicated.

Agreeing with Greg and repeating what is said earlier. It will ge wet and moldy. It would take fans to make it work because that would help dry the soil. I tried it and a 10min shower ended making it to wet after a week. I then went to ever other day. Then had to let it dry. Then my crocs decided to destroy it and I never tried again. Flowing water was more fun and increased the humidity. Crocs, like most info monitors are not fond of staggent water. May be better to try a moving water system which is full of it's own headaches
