Enclosure thoughts and humidity

[Edge2023]

Hello new here I have a 4 month old female veiled chameleon and she's in a 2x2x4 cage with live plants, t5 HO, basking area is around 80-90 depending on the branch she uses, and led for plants. I have a Monsoon solo 2 mister and since moving her to a larger cage I have trouble keeping humidity between 40 and 50 during the day without misting more than 3 times for 2 minutes. Thought about maybe adding a background to see if it helps keep humidity up. Any thoughts or if I should add anything else. Thank you

That look fantastic

Hello and welcome!
So to help with the humidity you could try putting a shower curtain around the enclosure.
I would raise the basking light a few inches, 90 degrees is a bit warm.
Add some more branches and plants if you can. Do you have a egg bin for her?

I am going to get her a laying bin soon. I could definitely add more branches and plants.

More plants will help with humidity too. You could also wrap the enclosure with the Frost King Insulation kits or use Corrugated plastic.

here is info on lay bins in case you dont have that already

How does she like the piece of wood in the middle? It’s neat looking!

Hi and welcome to the forum. What is your current misting schedule, as mentioned you could cover some of your enclosure, what are you using to measure humidity ie analogue gauge, digital gauge etc . Humidity fluctuation is fine with veileds being 30 to 50 % daytime

Looks fantastic!

She loves the wood in the middle. I use a digital gauge for humidity and heat. I have the mister set for every 8 hours running 2 minutes. It's usually 35 to 40 during the day.

If you have trouble keeping the humidity up then you can wrap the enclosure sides in duck window seal or as you said do the background. I have both but am yet to set up my background. You can get the window seal on Amazon or probably Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Target? Hope this helps!
