misting

[Tighe]

What does everyone think about misting their chameleons at night? They would received water at night in the wild. Thanks

If they go to bed wet and they get a draft or cooled off too much they might end up with a URI or a fungal infection.

its a bad idea to mist your chameleon within two hours of lights out so make sure you get your heavy misting in late, but before that mark so your guy is properly hydrated going into the next light cycle

It is my opinion that the animal needs time to completely dry out after the last misting of the day before the lights go out.
This has been my practice and my animals are well hydrated and have never suffered from URI, bacterial infections, or any similar malady*.
