Need Help Please

[RFD]

You have all been very helpful -- but I can't seem to get msiting, fogger right.

I have about 1/4 inch of water in my overflow tray every night.

Is the mister used to directly mist the Chameleon or just mist the cage for drinking and humidity?

I inserted two nozzles from a Monsoon mister --the cage is 18 X 12X24 so the nozzles are placed so they don't soak the outside of the cage.

This means the Chameleon is not getting fully wet.

So I am now trying this

I have the fogger on medium level 18 hours a day.

Light's are on 12 hours.

Misting 3 times a day for 1 minute

any suggestions?

Plants seem to be holding too much water in pots and bottom of cage is always wet

I don't know what kind of chameleon you have but that sounds like way too much water. You need to let the cage dry out between watering, and especially before the lights go out at night. Otherwise you're inviting bacterial growth, skin problems, upper respiratory infection, and possible fungal problems. Believe it or not you can have relative humidity too high if you don't have proper circulation.
