I have been researching in the Yemen chameleon environments and I'm trying to find a good misting system planned to go with that has anyone got any advice of tips, by the looks of it its hardly rains so they would be drinking from morning mist? I have my mister go off 4 times a day for 20seconds ... seems too much ? Any 1 just do twice a day?
 
The native range for veileds can be almost arid to pretty humid. In captivity I would suggest more controlled humidity and misting 4 to 5 times a day for about 30 seconds. I don't like to mist right before lights out because the enclosure is wet all night, and my first misting is about a half hour to an hour after the lights are on in the morning. If your chameleon enjoys drinking while misting, you can mist for a couple of minutes (providing you have good drainage) but if he's like mine, he'll run and hide under a big leaf :rolleyes:. Hope this helps. :)
 
I think more is better i just didnt know if i was overdoing it. I tend to mist 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm for 20 second but have a smaller glass viv
