I just got done building my cage and trying to figure out the temps and humidity before I get the chameleon (veiled). The cage is 4' tall with a 2'x3' footprint. The basking spot at the top right is 95°. At about 18” from the top it is usually between 78°- 80° and at the midpoint it is usually 2° above the ambient temp. There are 3 potted plants in the bottom, 2 philodendron and 1 ivy, and a spider plant in the back wall. They all need to grow in a little more. The main problem I have noticed is that the humidity in my apartment is about 33% and with the Habba Mist going for 60 seconds every hour I can only raise the humidity to 44% on occasion most of the time just. Any suggestions or opinions on this matter or with regard to the cage in general would be appreciated.

I have the same issues here in Colorado.
More plants help.
Do you have a drip system?

I do not have a drip system. An example: it has been 45 min since the last misting and there are still multiple drops on many of the leaves and it is only at 35%.

As long as my veiled always has a source of drinking water (drip system) and frequent misting happens, it seems to be okay.
You could raise the humidity in the room with a humidifier..I don't like them so I don't do that.
The humidity in my enclosure is at 32 right now. I am getting ready to mist again.

What's the background made of?

The back and bottom are both made of styrofoam and concrete.

I think you need at least one good primary plant in there maybe two. Something that can get big like a schefferella or a ficus.

Like the bottom idea. I may try that.

I agree with Jordan.
That will help increase your humidity as well.

I am planning on getting a honeysuckle vine as my main plant and that will fill in a lot better than the philodendron, but those aren't available locally until sometime in April.
Also, here are a couple better pics of the back and floor.

Honey suckle is not a good choice for a cham enclosure.
It was brought up one time before and I think determined to be too sticky.
