humidity

[jah]

Heyyy, I just got a new enclosure for my cham, its a 2' 2' 4' aluminum cage. Previously I had an Exo-Terra(glass) and humidity was always up high when I misted but now i'm having a little trouble with the screen cage, any tips?!

I use plastic ( garbage bags, black) on the back and side. This helps significantly. I use scotch tape and they are easily moved or modified. Just the 2 sides works wonders for me.

Here are all the things you can try to keep humidity up, that I can think of:
- Get a lot of live plants
- Increase misting frequency and/or duration
- Cover 2-3 sides of the cage in plastic
- Add a humidifier to the area near the cage

alright thanks! I have a ficus in there right now but its at the bottom of the enclosure and its fairly small cuz it was in my previous exo terra(only takes up about 1/3 of the cage) I'm hoping it grows bigger so it can hold the water better than the plastic ones that are up on the top. As for plastic, like a plastic wrap type of deal?
