Hi! How often are you misting/spraying and do you use a dripper?nope! i put him in this bin for a “humidity bath” he likes to lick the walls to get some extra water. he has a 24x24x48 inch tank!
i do have a mister that i do basically whenever his humidity is dropping low. he does have a dripper as well but never tends to use it. my biggest concern is he kept getting sunken in eyes, which is a lack of water, so after i started giving him some extra water he has perked up and looks healthier than ever.Hi!

A big concern with a ‘humidity bath’ would be too much humidity which could cause a respiratory infection. He looks like a rather young chameleon and they are more fragile and susceptible to illness.
Okay, I am going to redirect you to miss Skittles, not sure about this.nope! i put him in this bin for a “humidity bath” he likes to lick the walls to get some extra water. he has a 24x24x48 inch tank!
So for veileds, your daytime humidity needs to be between 30-50%, preferably on the low to middle end of that. If your house has too high of humidity, you can use a whole room dehumidifier away from the cage to help lower the humidity. At night, you can raise it all the way up to 100% humidity if there is enough airflow and the temperature is cool enough (under 65*F max). You can do that using a cool-mist or ultrasonic humidifier (it and it’s tubes and all accessories need to be cleaned thoroughly and often, at least once a week minimum) or short misting sessions throughout the night to keep the humidity up.i make sure to mist everything in his tank, so basically until the plants are close to dripping. his humidity levels stay between 50-65% sometimes higher because i live somewhere where it is usually humid in general
i use a dehumidifier when the room reachers too high of a humidity. Thank you!So for veileds, your daytime humidity needs to be between 30-50%, preferably on the low to middle end of that.

That sounds like what i already do so thank you! and i just purchased a dripper for him awhile ago!For misting sessions, he needs at least two mistings a day (preferably around when his lights go on and off) that are a minimum of 2-5+ minutes long each time. You can also use a dripper if you want to add extra water
okay i will, thanks!If you wouldn’t mind, it’d be great if you can start your own thread with this form filled out (in as much detail as possible- including pics of your entire enclosure and lights), so we can help make sure the rest of your husbandry is at 100%!
