I just thought I would share that I have had amazing luck with setting up a cool/warm mist humidifier next to my baby chameleon enclosure. I have a PureGuardian that you can control the level of output and also whether the mist is cool or warm. I would suggest this kind because you can set it to warm and turn it down at night. Many mist humidifiers are cool mist only which can cause the babies to become hypothermic at night since they are too small to regulate body temp. and don't have the light at night.
What I love about this setup is that some of the mist goes through the screen to keep the overall humidity up and then some condensates on the screen. The baby chams (4 weeks old today) have learned to go to that location to get a drink.
The mist from a spray bottle can be stressful if used a lot because it's more forceful and sudden. I do mist with a spray bottle a couple times a day as well, but many of them just go to the condensation screen for a drink. Just an idea for others to keep their chams hydrated!
