not to mention the Jackson chameleons feast on the native Hawaiian tree snails which are critically endangered...

The Jackson's chameleon got here in 1972 in the pet trade. After the long journey from Tanzania the chameleons were extremely dehydrated and the pet shop owner released the 32 of them into his backyard to re-hydrate. Since then they have spread to the mountains of most of the Hawaiian Islands...

I would suggest not letting him/her see you when misting. You don't want the cham to think you are the one coming in and spraying it in the face. I'd say the automatic mister will be good as it acts like a random rain storm.
