I'm currently getting my humidity readings from the mistking hygrometer. My old one just said "lo" all day and offered no specific reading. I live in Las Vegas and our climate is very dry even so, I am probably just worrying too much. I'm really just trying my best not to stress him out too much...

Sorry for the wait on that I just finished putting more branches in his enclosures. His new temps are 83 on his basking spot and 75-77 degrees at the very bottom of the cage. The ambient temperature is usually between 75 and 77 degrees. His humidity before misting is usually 21-23% and after...

I haven't had a working hygrometer until about two days ago and after misting with a proper system it gets up to 40% within 3-4 minutes but when I was hand misting my old hygrometer displayed "lo" which made me think the humidity was too low for a reading. I hand-misted again today just to see...

Also his humidity may have been as low as 20% for about a week now but he's not displaying any signs of an upper respiratory infection. Is it possible he may have already developed one?!?!

Christmas update: I have since switched to a 75 watt bulb and it raised his temperatures by a a good amount. I'm ordering him hornworms, black solider fly larva, silkworms, and 1/2 inch banded crickets from Josh's frogs. I had him on a diet of only wax worms because that's all I could find...

Until today I didn't have a way to get a hole drilled into the reservoir so I had to hand mist until my system was properly assembled. I am having really bad luck with him because I ordered a hygrostat-thermometer with my mist king thinking it would give me updates on my humidity as well as let...

We've ordered from him and are waiting on those! I spoke with Bill multiple times on my set-up and he's recommended him, thank you for the review on the branches! it's really hard to set-up his cage using only branches because I can't just go out and break some off of a tree. We have palm trees...

Thank you for your through responses, I'm sure these resources will help a lot. I'm putting up about 4 new branches today and ordering another 5 pack of the dragon ledges so I wanted to put 2 of those in between the ones I already have and then add 6 more plants which will defiantly fill out the...

I recently got Fred and we got a very rocky start. The first day he arrived he wasn't opened immediately. He waited for about 2 hrs but when we opened him up he was fine. The delay was due to the fact that I still needed to pick up some "river rocks" to go on top of his plants so he wouldn't...

@Gingero

He might be hot, I had the same problem and mine is less stressed and a lot lighter when he's in his ideal temperature conditions. I think that might be what's wrong because you noticed he's lighter when further down in the cage (where it's probably not as hot). If this is the problem I would...

Hi, I'm new the forums but from what I've learned spikes in humidity throughout the day are perfectly normal. Humidity levels can greatly affect the health of a chameleon if they are too high so just make sure the humidity levels are appropriate for your species. Once again, I'm new so I'd wait...

I've heard of people just buying gallons of reverse-osmosis water by the gallon for their misting systems but , I can't confirm if this is good for the system or the reptile yet, does anyone know anything about this?

I wish I would've found this video about an hour ago when I purchased everything for my cham enclosure, it would saved me 100's. This is the link to a video on chameleon cost by a very good keeper: In the description was a complete list of everything you need. Of course a keeper's equipment...

Thanks so much for your response! Since I have just ordered a bunch of stuff I've seen an older video that literally tells me everything to get down to the outlet timer! I had just seen a general article on plants that are safe and easy to grow but that chameleonacademy article was really...

I've been watching a lot of videos from a keeper here on the forums and their channel is called Neptunethechamelon. I found a lot of the info I got here to be super helpful, and I tried to copy just about every bit of her husbandry as I could but sometimes, she doesn 't show specific bands. I'm...
