Misting The Terrarium

[Fchamel]

Hello! Looking for advice on how often to mist the terrarium, and when to mist it.

Depends on your natural humidity and your chameleon's drinking response. What works for one keeper and one chameleon may not work for another.

That being said, the general recommendation is 2x a day. Once before lights come on and once before lights go off for 2-4 minutes. But we all tailor that based on our cham's needs/environments. Drippers and foggers can also influence misting schedules.

Here are some good resources:
