-What are the ideal humidity levels in a veiled chameleon cage when just misted and when drying out?

-What are the ideal basking and ambient temperatures for a female veiled?

-What is the smallest acceptable cage size for a female veiled that is 5 1/2" from nose to vent?

-What are the best small plants to use inside her cage that are pretty hardy?

-Would you recommend using a fogger for a few minutes a few times a day to keep the humidity nice between mistings?

Thanks!

40-50% dry, 70-90% misting.

Ideal in the wild? 90 ish. Ideal to stop egg laying? 80.

She's blind right? I'd put her in a 16x16x30, if you're worried about mishaps like falling or other things. But if she was mine, I'd go for a the normal cage size as an adult.

Ficus, hibiscus, umbrella, and pothos. Though ficus can cause eye irritation, and hibiscus need a lot of light.

She can see out of one eye. I was thinking about building a 12 long x 24 wide x 24 tall.

Is she an adult? My young male is in a cage thats about 16x16x30 and he's about 4.5-5" stv. Since she can see, I'd give her the standard amount of space, or a little more so she can grow a bit more.

I believe she's full grown, about a year. She has had plenty of space and has stopped growing.

I say at least the 16x16x30 but I think she'd like an 18x18x36 better

I'd get the 36 inch but with the one bad eye she still may not be able to hunt food. My daughter has a one eye guy and she had to hold the food up close to his mouth. Eye problems usually cause them to have problems with their tongue and shooting problems.

So I'll stick with the 12x24x24. What does everyone think about foggers?
