Hi all,
My family will likely be getting a Panther Chameleon in a few weeks. As I'm getting things set up, I have read that you want to have nighttime RH to be between 80 and 100%. To help facilitate this, the latest and greatest is fogging in the early morning with the caveat that the temps be in the mid 60s to avoid URIs.
Unfortunately, I live in Central FL, where the AC runs most of the day to keep the house at 76 with an RH of about 49%. To get temps down in the 60s would cost a significant amount of money for the power.
What are Cham keepers doing in similar circumstances to achieve acceptable nightime humidity?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I’m in Brevard county and have that exact dilemma. I’ve even tried a room ac in addition to the central and still my temps were above 70. Since I can’t get it cool enough, I forego having the humidity boost so high. Instead of fogging, I run my mist king for a 15 second spurt around 3 or 4 AM. It gives a small boost, but not enough to risk respiratory infection.
