Is it safe to have the fogger on at night as well as a heater since the room is cold ? I don’t want to make my chameleon sick with being hot/cold.

They make heated mattress covers!My mattress feels like an icepack when I lie down.

You mean electric blankets?They make heated mattress covers!
... and exotic pets like chameleons.The first electric blanket was invented in 1912 by an American inventor named Samuel Irwin Russell, but it was used under the bed instead of on top. The first electric blanket that you could actually snuggle under wasn’t available until the 1930s, and they didn’t really take off until after World War II, when Americans had money for extras like blankets you plug into a wall...

Yeah, they're basically electric blankets you sleep on top of instead of underneath.Nope, mattress covers. Just Google it, they look pretty cool!

Is that during the day, night, or both?Hi everyone I have a panther. His cage it’s to 65 at the bottom and around 70 up top but I run a somewhat cold humidifier while the heater is one I just don’t want him to get sick from the cold/hot air
Lol I need to look into thatThey make heated mattress covers!

How old is he? 85*F is the recommended max for basking for male adults. Though if he’s too cold, you can bump it up 86-87*F, and if he’s too hot, lower the wattage and/or raise the bulb further away. Most keepers stay between 80-85*F for their males’ basking spots (measured where his casque/top of his back is when he’s on his basking branch). How do you measure his temps? Precise temps are crucial for a chameleon’s health! His humidity levels during the day should be bretween 50-60/70% and up to 100% at night. 65*F is perfect for a nighttime temp drop! No heater needed! Have you checked out The Chameleon Academy yet? They have the most up-to-date and accurate info!During the day his basking spot is anywhere from 79-85 sometimes it goes up to 90
But I only run the humidifier at night to rise the humidity up along with a fogger and I have the heater on for myself because I get cold at night lol I just don’t want to make him sick

I’ve only had it for about a month and I’ve cleaned it twiceHow often do you clean his fogger and its tubes (and anything else used)? Where is the output tube for the fogger placed on his cage?
Getting a precise temp is crucial. The basking spot (where the top of his back is) should be anywhere from 80-85*F (whichever he’s most comfortable with- not too hot and not too cold). Is the humidifier a whole room humidifier or does it have tubes and is only used in his cage?Hi thank you ! I switch out his basking bulb from 50w or 75w depending how high it gets currently his basking spot during the day is between 79-81 before it was getting higher closer to 85-90 so I changed the wattage. He’s about 7 months now, and he wasn’t eating as much the last two days but today he finished his food. During the day his humidity is 55 at the bottom and up to 60 up top and 60-70 at night which is why I started to use the humidifier.
Cleaning a cage fogger/cool mist or ultrasonic humidifier propearly a minimum of 1-2x a week thoroughly is recommended (including any tubes or any other accessories you use).I’ve only had it for about a month and I’ve cleaned it twice
