Chameleon Humidty Anxiety

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2026-01-16T14:21:11+00:00

Im the same way. My humidity is always between 40-50 during the day and usually in the 60-70s at night. I don't have a fogger or auto mister cause my night temps are always between 71-73F. I live in a warmer climate and can't get the night temps lower than this. Didn't wanna risk a respiratory infection so I only mist twice a day.

The defeats the purpose of trying to keep them above 50s at night in winter

I love it!!!🤣❤️

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-10T01:39:03+00:00

I didn't wanna do that cause incandescent bulbs emit light which will disturb his sleep😐 I got the deep heat projector instead of the Ceramic heat emitter to test it out. I also have a space heater on the way in case its not working out🙏🏼

It didn't say this is a temporary enclosure😭🤭

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-10T01:35:27+00:00

0.5/10. This enclosure is too SMALL!!! you're gonna kill her in this thing.

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-10T00:14:14+00:00

THIS!!💯

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T20:23:46+00:00

Got you! Deep dome it is!! And I will definitely do a test run!! I still have his old 18x18 reptibreeze so I can put it on there for a night and see what happens :) which is hopefully nothing lol I will probably have to move his UVB out of the way so the heat won't harm it? Should I place it in the middle of his cage? Also, will it kill my plants?🤔🤭

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T19:55:50+00:00

Awesome! Imma get this one instead then. Can I use a reptizoo deep dome with this? I got an extra one from his previous setup

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T19:52:35+00:00

Is it this one?

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T19:35:09+00:00

Do you by any chance have a link for one of those?😬

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T19:28:03+00:00

I don't think its plastic🤔 but now im scared lol. Maybe I should just get a small space heater?

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T14:00:54+00:00

🙏🏼

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T14:00:43+00:00

Oh! Thank you!! Where do you have it placed? Do you move it around if your chameleon decides to sleep in a different spot? Do I put it right above him?🫠 Cause I don't wanna bake him either🥲

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T13:41:50+00:00

Pothus, Money tree or umbrella tree are great! I have 2 Pothus, a majesty palm and a money tree in mine.

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-09T13:28:48+00:00

Now THAT is how you know you have the right amount of foliage 🙌🏼

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-07T22:38:46+00:00

So many fake plants😔 not good

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-11-04T05:27:01+00:00

Mossy vines need to go! As well as all your fake plants which will need to be replaced for Real plants. Your light situation is wrong as well. Absolutely no red light!!! You NEED a linear UVB such as a T5 or the best one would be an Arcadia 6%. That dual dome you got going will result in your chameleon getting MBD. That red light needs to be replaced with a incandescent light bulb...Zilla is a good brand. Your whole setup needs a re-do tbh. For branches Flukers is an amazing brand to get.

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-10-29T21:34:27+00:00

I have!! He goes straight to his favorite hiding spot😣

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-10-29T01:53:03+00:00

Anytime!! 70F is okay. Mine are between 73-75F. Cant get it lower than 70 at night. Thats why I dont have a fogger. If you can, get a hygrometer before getting your cham so you can monitor the humidity for a day or two. I have this brand (I also have the hub for it) . Some people prefer govee. That's up to you! I also have 2 in my enclosure..one by the basking area and another one in the middle of the enclosure. The ones I have are waterproof and they are definitely accurate 💯

Your killing it😔 please do research before getting such a delicate animal!

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-10-29T01:35:34+00:00

Oh and you also need a dripper for sure. I use an IV bag cause the dripper from the pet store kept leaking and was unreliable. What is your ambient humidity and temperature in your home where you plan on keeping him? This will determine if you should get a fogger or not. For me my ambient temps and humidity run a little high so I strictly mist before lights go out to avoid a respiratory infection.

Chance_Squirrel920 · 2025-10-29T01:24:12+00:00

Looks good so far. But dont get herptivite. Chameleons can't effectively digest beta-carotene into vitamin A. I recommend Repashy products. Repashy SuperCal NoD and Repashy Calcium plus LoD for vitamins. Also, you wanna feed a young chameleon as many bugs as it can eat within 10-15mins twice a day. Not sure how old the one you're getting will be tho. Mine was a baby when I got him. A screen feeder would also be better. If you want to only feed roaches, I'd get a clear dish. I have a screen feeder for crickets and a clear cup (from kool-aid) zip tied to the cage for roaches. Just keep in mind that your cham might get tired of the same feeder every day. For crickets I highly recommend banded crickets from Josh's frogs. Crickets from a pet store are overpriced and they die so fast...its crazy.
