Humidity at 35%?

[LibbyRhiann]

Hi!

Since switching from a glass cage to a screen cage I’m really struggling to keep up the humidity, i know 40% through the day it acceptable for veiled’s but during the night, it’s still not going up much, I woke up this morning and it was only reading 45%. I know during the night it needs to be much higher.. I’m misting at least 3 times a day, about 3 minutes each time.

I have covered the sides and back today with cardboard but not really noticed much change with the humidity. Is there any suggestions? I have attached a picture of where my probe sits within the enclosure.

you could get a fogger, if you dont already have one. i dont have any ideas other than that, but i have a veiled chameleon, (whos humidity is currenly a little higher than ideal) but i dont fog, and his urates are completely hydrated. the humidity does go up to 70 ish percent at night where he is now so idk if that plays a role or not

I would remove the cardboard and use either pvc panels or get something like this to do each panel. The cardboard is going to get nasty fast and absorb the moisture. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Duck-Shr...MI4Mjtkbnz6wIVERvnCh1RkQQrEAQYAiABEgItS_D_BwE

In your situation fogging at night would be an option.

Cover 2 sides with shower curtains
buy a room humidifier
Fog
Wet Towel in room (alternative to room humidifier)

IMO a humidifier is well worth it and works the best. I have mine on a timer to go off for a few hours during the night.
