@jamest0o0 that has been my experience as a veterinarian as well. I see them most when temperatures run on the low end. The last one I saw ironically had started doing night fogging on recommendation of a certain podcast and was using lower temperatures and her chameleon got sick about a month after. Got him fixed up though.
I also am not against night fogging. I am just not convinced that it is the best or only way. I hear that chameleons live longer but I have not actually seen that proven by multiple people, and it obviously would be in combination with a variety of other factors influencing health. There is still much we don’t know for sure about chameleons in general, including best conditions for captive care. We’ve come a long way already just in the last decade or so. Maybe this is the next big step? I just need more evidence before saying that this one thing is life changing like it’s suddenly being promoted to be.
