Zoo Med The Little Dripper 70 oz Reptile Water Dripper

Simulate Natural Rainfall for Your Reptile Enclosure

Zoo Med's Little Dripper is a 70 oz reptile water dripper designed to replicate the natural rainfall and dew that many reptile species rely on for hydration. By delivering a slow, steady drip of water, it creates a naturalistic drinking experience that encourages reptiles to drink regularly - especially those that instinctively avoid still, standing water.

The Little Dripper features a folding handle lid that makes it easy to suspend directly above the enclosure, positioning the drip precisely where your reptile needs it. Whether mounted over a leaf, branch, or water dish, it integrates seamlessly into any terrarium setup and helps maintain the humidity levels that tropical and arboreal species depend on.

Available in two sizes - the 70 oz Little Dripper and the one gallon Big Dripper - Zoo Med's dripper system gives keepers a flexible, low-maintenance solution for hydration and humidity management.

Why Reptile Owners Choose It

Keepers of Old World Chameleons and other arboreal species know that getting their animals to drink is one of the most common challenges in captive care. The Little Dripper solves this by mimicking the natural drip of rainwater on leaves - the exact cue these animals are wired to respond to. It is a practical, reliable tool that fits into any humidity-focused terrarium setup without complicated installation.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The Little Dripper is built with a folding handle lid that doubles as a suspension mechanism, allowing you to hang it securely above your reptile's enclosure. The dripper delivers water at a controlled rate, replicating the slow drip of rainfall or morning dew. Its 70 oz reservoir provides a generous water supply, reducing the frequency of refills during the day.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

Suspend the Little Dripper above the enclosure using the folding handle lid, positioning the drip outlet over a leaf, branch, or water collection dish. It is especially well-suited for arboreal enclosures housing Old World Chameleons and other species that naturally drink from leaf surfaces. The dripper can also help raise ambient humidity in tropical terrarium setups.

Care and Maintenance

Rinse the dripper thoroughly before first use. Refill as needed and clean regularly to prevent mineral buildup and maintain water quality for your reptile.
