Pronunciation: \hyü-ˈmi-də-tē, yü-\
Function: noun
: a moderate degree of wetness especially of the atmosphere — from Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Basically, you need to keep the moisture up in the tank. Plants, misting and drip systems do that.
I think the age question was asked because you sound very young.
Edit: The search feature on the forum is exceptionally helpful. Most of the questions I've seen you asking have already been answered previously. Check out all the posts and do research before you get a chameleon!
Humidity is the water content in the air. The higher the humidity, the wetter the air. Depending on the climate where you live, it may be easier or harder for you to raise humidity in your home.
You know what, I get it, even though I laughed at first.
The question "what is humid" means -- "what is the proper humidity for a chameleon?"
The answer depends upon your species but here's my theory -- Chameleons need to drink lots of water more than breathe humid air. Constant humidity is not as important for most chameleons as a daily offering of drinkable water.
SO it's more important to have one 20 minute misting interval followed by dry all day and less important to have 20 quick sprays to keep humidity up. Keeping things wet all day is not clean.
