id like to but during the summer thats just a bad idea unless its like 6 AM. arizona temps reach like 80.0F as early as 5:00 am in the morning and by 9:00 can be as hot as 104 F and typically doesn't cool off till the sun is gone. mid day is like 115 f at the hottest.
come september october ill be able to and then december through march i can take him out at the end of the day when it cools off...
can i also take him into the bathroom while i am showering? i know it gets hot but the humidity levels are good, i might set up a branch tree or something.

This is the first time i heard where the chameleon is watching the owner get showered for hydration.
lolUsually, it's the other way around.
You put the chameleon in the shower while you watch it to make sure he's ok.

Yes.
Consider it as a therapy for dehydration or when your chameleon needs an extra boost of water.
I don't do it regularly. Only when needed.

so is a heavy mist system not a good idea for a younger chameleon?
im gettin this thing small , i mean maybe 2 months by the time i get it...someone said i should hold off on a mister and stick with a dripper and squirt bottle mister till he is bigger. but i can't always be home, long enough to just feed turn lights on and off.

better not take the risk.
either buy big rocks that won't fit his mouth altogether or cover the pot with plastic canvas.

SORRY about the bump..
so, basically i got my stuff from lllreptile today and im glad i got the new bulb and vitamins.
BUT herpmist still has yet to even get my order of the misterkit passed processing? what does this mean, im kind of frustrated that i havn't gotten any update from him at all? is this normal for him to take 3 days and still have no info about it at least getting ready to be shipped.
second i can keep a pretty decent moisture when i do spray water with a squirt bottle but that only last for about oh.. 10 mins before it drops down to 38%... i know if i get a mister that should be alot better...do i need to get a humidifier *or is there a cheaper way to keep humidity up*.
basically i spoke with the petstore today and they said i could pick up my jackson as soon as monday ill probably wait till friday however. im still worried that i don't have my mister system yet... and will only be able to spray when i wake up, when i get home and then when i get back from school at ten at night. ill set up a drip system.
finally can i cup feed at this age? or is it to difficult to cupfeed pin head crickets and will they get through the mesh, on the screen enclosure? can i go to 2 weeks *the chameleon is coming up on 7-8 weeks old*
PS its jackson xantholophus.
