What's your misting schedule I see 1/hr what does that mean

Thanks! I have a small ficus that I put back in. Also found "royal pillow moss" apparently from the Galapagos at my reptile store. I think it looks great, should help with the soil being too wet, and will definitely assist with humidity.

Also gave him another shower today, and used a small syringe to give him a calcium, multi vitamin, water mix. He didn't seem to mind, I was patient and he kept opening his mouth for me.

Still weak, but seems to have more energy today.

Will shower him and give another calcium + water mix again tomorrow.

I have an automatic mister (exo terra monsoon rs400) currently spraying for 60 seconds each hour.

Can you do a longer duration and less often with that mister. Most chameleons don't start drinking until a minuteor two in. If you could do a 3 minute misting every 3 hours that would be a lot better I believe. Worth mine u use a dripper 4 days a week and my lights come on at 8 am first mist is at 9 am 3 mins 12 pm 4 mins 4pm 5 mins and 7 pm 2 mins. I feel longer and less often is a lot better in my opinion

I also about once a week do a 10 to 15 min misting session to help flush their eyes and clean them up

The max mine goes is 2 minutes, I will try to change it up and extend it beyond that manually when I am home in the evenings. Thank you!
