Fountain in Room - Humidity

[Scott4335]

The room that I am housing my new Chameleon has a fountain in it. His enclosure is in the sunroom of my house. Ambient temp is about 75 degrees basking 86 degrees. Humidity stays at about 65% in the middle of he enclosure- I think it is due to a large fountain I have on the opposite side of the room. Does anyone foresee this fountain causing problems? Is 65 too high and should I mist less often due too the fountain in the room? He has a dripper too.

I appreciate all of your educated responses ahead of time.

By the way he is in a 2'x2'x4' screen enclosure - 2 ft off the ground. He is a 9 month old Ambanja. He also may be getting ready to shed....

Picture of room attached for an idea of the setup.

Scott - I see no problem with the fountain, if anything the extra humidity is a benefit. Fountains inside the enclosure are the things members here do not like to see. I think your set up looks great so far. Extra humidity is fine as long as there isn't always standing water or constantly wet conditions.

As far as misting less, I would mist as usual and as long as the water evaporates after each misting you will be fine.

Scott It looks like Kilgour answered your question. I live in Fla and my humidity in my cage which is in my house stays at a pretty constant 60 before misting and my cham is doing fine. By the way I wanted to compliment you on what a beautiful room you have there. what a nice place for your cham to live!!!

What a beautiful room you have! I would love to fill that with Chameleons ... or maybe parrots. It would certainly be a difficult choice for me.

Thank you for the room compliments...lol....I really was just trying to show the distance from the fountain to the enclosure - But I thank you for the comments!
