I need some ideas how I can raise my RH% at night. The best I can do now it turn on my Humidifier before bed and set it between 5-8hrs . I typically go to bed at 10pm.

I just turn my humidifier up. By the time lights are on in morning it's 80-90% humidity. Then I turn it to low for the rest of the day.
Only the nose challenged breed crickets lol

I will give it a try. Mine blows directly into the cage. Should I not do that?. Should I set it on high?. I can turn it on before bed. It has a timer I can set from 1-12hrs. If I turn it on at 10 I think 8 hrs should be fine?.

I have mine about 3ft away. And yeah that's sounds good. Just monitor it the best you can until you get it dialed in.

I'm a bit concerned about Ares going under the heat lamp. I have it set for his branch. I have found him sitting directly under the heat lamp. I don't want to cook him. Is there anyway to keep him from crawling under that light?.

I had a digi in the cage. Sensor failed after getting wet. If Sensor gets wet it wont function properly. From what I've read analogs work OK..I have a bunch of digi's outside the cage. Looking at the ones outside the analog is almost the same. Im looking for a water prof sensor. Might try this model

Escapee's are tossed into the cage.

OK so I got that water prof temp/humidity meter. Seems to be working. In is the meter, Out is inside the cage where the sensor is. Look how much different RH% is between in/out. I also got some Teflon fog nozzles samples. These are 1gpm with a screen. I'm not sure these will work with that screen. It protrudes to much. I can modify them. There allot cheaper than Mistking. RH% went up to 80% after turning on my Humidifier to high. I turned it down to low. I will find a happy medium.
What RH% should I shoot for at night?>

I have another 24x48 cage I could setup with bare bones so Ares could enjoy outdoor activities. Are there any neg reasons why I shouldn't bother?.

Today Ares took a tumble from pretty high in the cage. I was watching him crawl through the Pathos the mister came on. I think ti startled him. He grabbed onto a leaf that couldn't hold his weight and fell to the bottom screen. He Looked a bit dazzed. Freaked me out. I looked for any damage he looks ok. I don't want that to happen again.
He has started to shed again. I don't know how often that's suppose to happen.

They are kind of built for tumbling out of trees. I mean have you ever see to male Panthers fighting?! It's amazing to see. Anyways one head butts the other out of the tree completely. They get dazzled and eventually walk away to find a different tree. Not saying you should play basketball with your chameleon or anything. Just keep an eye on him. Shedding happens when it happens. Usually for juveniles I find it to run closely to once a month maybe a little earlier so like 25 days or so.

Thanks, Don't want him to hurt himself.. Having a screen bottom helped. Its got good bounce to it. Him shedding happens quick. Hes almost got it all off.

Crawling on those Pathos leaves again . He has a little skin left on his left eye orbit. Watching him scrape it off was entertaining
