Veiled Cham Humidity

[VeiledFlash]

Hello, I am a pretty new Chameleon owner and I have read that they need to have humidity of anywhere from 50-70%. I am having trouble figuring out how to keep the humidity up. I mist his cage several times a day, and it will be up into the 60% range, but about half an hour later it will be down to 10-20%. Is this okay? If not, does anyone have any suggestions to keep it up?

I've read about using a drip system, which I plan on doing very soon, but I don't know what to do until I can get the drip system.

Thanks!
Richie

I have the same problem but where I'm at its dry in the winter so come summer it will be moister

Ahh! I see. It is cold here too, and we have dry air for the heat. That makes a lot more sense! Thank you!

More real plants will help hold humidity. Wrapping 3 sides with plastic, shower curtain, waterproof media ect, will all help hold in the moisture. I'm in RI and am averaging 55% since November (when I got my veiled). It's a help that I have steam radiator heat. Summer will bring much of the "muggy" humid weather.

Okay, great! I will have to try something like that. I have a 16X16X30 ZooMed Reptibreeze cage for him right now, and all of the sides, top to bottom, are screens. It just makes it so hard to keep moist! I hadn't thought of the plastic or waterproof media! Thanks!
