I am just curious as to wether I am misting often enough.

Rico is now almsot 3.5 month old Transluscent Baby Veild Chameleon

Daytime avg Humidity is between 35 and 45%
Baking Temp 82.04F
Mid Enclosure / Non basking are78.08F
Bottom of enclosure 71.6F

Night time avg humidity 54%
Night time lowest temp 67F

Enclosure size 24x24x48

Using a mistking single nozzle system

I aim the nozzle to hit both my hanging Golden Pothos plants, it creats a nice drip from multiple areas othe the enclose, especially off tge leaves.


Current misting Schedule

7:45 am 1min30 secs
12:10pm 45sec
2pm. 1min
4pm. 30sec
7:30pm. 1min45sec

PLS NOTE I AM NOTE USING A DRIPPER

Any suggestions?
 
I would increase one of the mistings to 3-5 minutes. It often takes a couple of minutes to trigger a drinking response in chameleons. just be sure the enclosure has time to dry out between mistings.

I am using a modified naturalistic hydration method that utilizes mostly night time fogging and short misting sessions over night (right before and after misting, and right before lights on). He wakes up with water droplets covering everything. I then do a single 3 minute mist @3pm. I see him licking water droplets most mornings and he drinks during the afternoon misting session.
