There is no answer for how bad mold is for chams. There are over 200,000 species of mold; a very small percentage of these have been studied for health affects in humans let alone chams. The primary risk in humans is immune response mediated (allergy/asthma) or, more rarely, pathogenic...
If you're in a relatively small room and there is no forced air ventilation that recirculates air throughout the apartment then a "warm mist" humidifier might be best. The main concern with this type is the discharge temp of the moisture vapor. If placed away from the enclosure it should be...
When it comes to sick kids it puts into perspective what is really important in life - I never fully appreciated this until we had children of our own. My thoughts are with you and I hope everything turns out OK.
Current Problem - Not sure if this is a problem, looking more for reassurance or early diagnosis if there is a concern - please let me know: MadEye has recently been going to the floor of the enclosure during the evening and appears to be drinking drops of water that fall off the plants. I'm...
Keep in mind - moisture vapor always moves from warm to cold and higher concentration to lower concentration. Since a cham's enclosure is warmer than the room and moisture sources are directed into the enclosure humidity will naturally migrate away out of the enclosure. Blocking off sides...
On public forums sometimes a thick skin is needed. From my experience this is common whenever an open public group who do not know each other try to communicate via text only. Inflection and tone is lost and it easily devolves into comments that would either never be said to someone you know...
If you plan on keeping the cham in the cage then research sealants by requesting material safety data sheets (MSDS). By law who ever sells it needs to provide the MSDS upon request and most manufacturers will have them posted on their web site. This would give you an idea of the chemicals in...
How 'bout now?
But hey - gotta give the Canucks some props. Only 4.5 D left standing - not much you can do. And Salo! Taking a slap shot that ruptured is "hey heys" and tries to get back on the ice 2 days later! That's sic - any other pro sport and the guy is done for months. Even Luongo...

The reality is - 100% confidence that a locale is "pure" does not exist and will not be possible until a distinctive feature is discovered that is objectively verifiable (i.e. genetic variation - even this is subject to some error albeit negligible).
What we are paying for by going to...
Playoffs have been great this year. Headin out in a few with some old friends to watch the Hawks. Hopen to go up 3-1 for some breathing room. Vanc. scares me more than any other team out there but I love watching Lu flapping around like a fish out of water with Byf standing over him :D.
Saw this on the news - they're not that big. Simply fat. Neighbors have decided that they are cute and need to be fed. There was footage of up to a dozen of them on a b-ball court lined up against the fence while people were throwing them food.
I'm with you on the dome light so picked up one of these (got the 30 inch but it is no longer on their website):

Keep in mind - not all deaths (cham, human or other) are related to environmental factors. It appears to me you did your homework and were well prepared.
As Pssh said - a necropsy might provide some answers and clear up any questions you might have on whether or not husbandry was a factor...
