need some help - new owner

[meganm]

hi, I recently bought a female Jackson Chameleon and trying to make sure I have everything I can think of for her. There are a few things I was hopping to get some help with though. I've built a cage for her but because its all screen I'm having a hard time keeping the humidity right, any suggestions? Also, shes still a baby, and this cage is big enough for her to have plenty of growing room, so its kind of big for her right now, how should I go about feeding her? I'm worried that if I put crickets in there she'll never find them. What are some suggestions for types of plants for her? I have a pothos hang plant that she LOVES!! and a hibiscus that sits on the bottom that she doesn't mess with to much. What is a good dripping system for her? I just purchased one called The Big Dripper. It didn't have the best reviews but it really was the only one I could find. Should I invest in a misster too, for is doing it myself good enough? Please help, lol. Really want to have the best for her! Want a happy, healthy pet!! any advice would be every much appreciated. Thank you so much!

How big is the viv? For plants ficus are very good, the big dripper is fine all I use is a coke bottle that I pushed a hole threw the bottom with a earring, you could try cup feeding and lose a few in there as well, what other questions where there lol

Pictures of the setup might be great. You should increase the misting if necessary. If you have a system, I would decrease the interval between each misting. If humidity is still low, you might consider an additional fogger.

Unless you want to get a temporary cage, cup feeding might be a good idea in a larger enclosure. You can fix the cup closer to the area where the cham usually hangs out.

Oh yea, if your struggling with humidity I would cover the back and two sides with plastic sheets, just have the top and front mesh that way it holds the humidity in a lot better

I'm sorry but what is viv? Cup feeding is pretty much how I've been doing it I just need to find a way to attach it to the wall.

do you have any recommendations for the fogger? the cage is 2ft x 2ft x 4ft
