Hah! Sounds like a piggy to me, just make sure you don't over feed him. Live plants are best as it provides a more natural environment for them and also aids in keeping the right humidity. I do use fake plants but only to add cover to the back of the cage... I have ficus and pothos in both my cages and they love them, it gives them lots of hiding places. 4 to 5 mistings sound okay as long as you let the cage dry between mistings, don't want any RI's or fungal infections. I made my own dripper and let that run most of the day just so that they have to option to drink when they want. Most of the time my little guy just drinks directly from they sprayer but just in case. I have 2 valves on my dripper and have a hose that runs to each cage. Oh and it's a good thing that he drinks a lot, let him drink all he wants.
These are pictures of when I only had my male so I had both hoses going into his cage.
