misting question

[babyjoe]

Gets guys just wondering about misting intervals.most people mist 2 or 3 times a day right? If I do this my humidity goes up in the clouds.it stays just right at one mist per day lasting about a minute and a half. Is it ok at one misting or is it beneficial to the cham to have more than one.should I maybe give 2 shorter mistings during the day. Dehydration is not an issue as he drinks straight from the dripper and his urate is good and white

you need to mist more than once as the misting is for drinking primarily.
I mist every 2 hours for 30 seconds, and the humidity sits right, and they have plenty of opportunities to drink.

If the humidity is staying high, and he is drinking from a dripper as well then YES. That is fine.

As long as he is not showing signs of dehydration( orange/yellowish urates, sunken eyes, skinfolds) there is no need to mist any more than necessary.

Yea he drinks from the dripper at different times in the day and his urate is white so there shouldn't be a problem.ill be building his big boy cage as soon as funds allow so ill probably be misting more then

Just another question on the misting.I'm guessing hell be due a,shed soon so should I be misting him directly to aid with the shed when it starts.I don't like doing it though as he seems to hate it

Not sure what species of cham babyjoe has, but does this apply to every cham species?

Warm showers I'd say are most beneficial during the shedding period
