i am trying to get some clarification on a few things b/4 i get my cham.
firstly how do you guys keep your humidity up? even when i spray my other lizard the humity drops to about 20 percent,before the next spraying.
can you put a cool mist humdifier towards the bottom(outside of the cage)?

What species do you plan on getting?

sorry i am getting a panther.
the repatarium is a 100 gallon size.
24-24-48
you can put it in any direction you want so of course i will have it as tall as possible.
also is moss ok to put in the enclosure with him?

 

[Justin Carl]

Reptariums can hold humidity a little better then aother enclosures.
That is about the only good part about them.
Fake plants are awesome.
A dripper with a water catch.
3 mistings a day.
A cheap humidifier in the same room will also raise humidity about 20% on average.

live plants are good to maintain humidity.
the more you put, the more humid the cage will become.
substrate is more of a nuisance than anything else.
So, moss is unnecessary.

ok thanks,
i have a humdifer already so i will use that.
i have gotten a few fake vines that i had plan to use. i also plan on getting some live plants.
i was think of either pothos,or ivy,and a hibiscuis to start out with.

are cham color blind do you know?

 

[dodolah]

as fas as i know, they see full color spectrum like us.

A hibiscus requires a lot of light to stay alive.
So if you use it make sure it is your main plant and get most of the light.
