My New and First Attempt at ownership

[sauer]

You don't need any bulbs at night, chams like about a 10-15 drop in temperature at night. You should mist about 3-4 times a day and not right before you turn off lights as it's best that your plants are dry before lights go out. So last misting about 45 min or so before bed time.

Would you recommend letting the humidity drop at night? Or should I try to keep it up? I am using a Zoo Med Repti Fogger Terrarium Humidifier, & the thing runs out of water left and right. (I got my baby as a rescue, she's not too bad-off at all, just the set-up they had for her was/is so irritating, I can see why they wanted to give up... Not me, though!)
I am looking for a better alternative & I'm sure once I get more live foliage in there, the humidity will keep up too. Does having any kind of substrate make that much of a difference keeping up humidity?

Sorry so many questions!
(& i'm not sure if everyone would rather I create a new post with this many questions, i'm not trying to steal the thread, just a curious newb.)

What level is your humidity at now? And what type of cham do you have? The humidity can go down as well overnight as long as you get it back up during the day. You'll definitely want to get some live plants in there, that'll help you keep up your humidity tremendously. Also misting often will also help. In regards to substrate, do not use any. Your cham could possibly digest some and that'll be a big no-no
