Anytime! I hope this works out :)

Understandable! I hope it works out so that it's okay to shut it off 1am-6am. I feel like that would be the perfect situation here for a solution for you. As long as it's okay for the rest of the room to do that during those hours.

2 potential options: 1) You could actually try ONLY leaving the dehumidifier off from say 1am to 6am (or whatever it was that you run your fogger). This way you're still getting the benefits you need it for, minus just 6 hours in the middle of the night/early morning. 2) Relocate your...

oh ok so you are using a dehumidifier at night? How close to the chameleon enclosure is that? (This can be a DIRECT reason why you are struggling with raising the humidity at night! This is a great thing if this is the issue though. EASY fix.) Those temps are perfectly fine. Remember it only...

No problem! Maybe if you're not using the fogger on full strength you can try bumping it up a bit. Since you're using that PVC hack... maybe what's happening is the fog is being distributed more evenly (but lessening the area he needs it the most). If you need any more assistance with this...

I prefer pothos for sure. So easy to take care of. Cheap to replace if necessary. And they're excellent for our chameleons. I especially like them because if you allow them to grow, they will create huge vines with nice sized leaves all around your enclosure, giving your chameleon the cover...

Ok so if that still is only getting to the high 60s-70s, I would try this. I have no idea how your fogger is currently setup, but if it's not like this already, I would give it a shot and see if there is change overnight. If you decide you'd rather the fogger just go in the general area...

Ahh ok so just to be clear, THAT hygrometer is only getting to the high 60s low 70s at night, specifically, correct?

Yes I mean the tubing that came with the fogger. PVC will serve you well! Maybe you should start misting for longer sessions, or simply throwing in more sessions. However... lets check something else out first. How close is your hygrometer to where your chameleon sleeps? IMO, you should...

I believe 68f is the highest you want to see when fogging. I got this off a video Bill Strand did. I believe it was a podcast with a biologist but I can not remember his name. I actually don't clean my fogger. I use well water that we treat and I constantly keep water in the fogger. I never...

That actually sounds interesting. Not like that would harm them or anything. Though I'd be worried about the lettuce going bad quickly. Maybe I worry too much 😭

Right I understand lol but I mean why could I use in replacement? I'm partially afraid to just use maple leaves from outside due to contamination. But it would be nice to come up with something. hmm

ahh ok. Do you have any ideas on what I could replace as the mulch for this setup? I can just continue using the chow if I can find the correct mulch I'd imagine?

That's incredible. I have a setup with my crickets that allows me to do no cleaning except between batches. I am going to look into this and see if I can find a way to get my hands on the leaves. If anyone has a source for mulberry leaves I'd love to know where I can get some. I suppose I...

Wait.......you don't have to clean up their poop and pull them from it daily!?!?!?

hmm I want to say that's possible but then how would they have survived when they were alive in the wild? I know they're extinct in the wild now but surely, they thrived in the past. You could be right though. That's interesting. I want to hear what others say as well. I keep thinking of...

While I can't really comment much on how to use the actual leaves (I would probably just rip them into medium sized pieces and drop them on top of the silkworms), I will say that I only use container food and I always have some die off here or there. They just kinda.....wither away. It's...

The best thing I could potentially assist with here (And you may have replies on this already, if so, sorry!) is night time humidity. If you are struggling with keeping the humidity raised, IMO you should keep the fogger on. Don't let it turn on/off. Just keep it on from 12:30-6:00am. I...

So sorry for getting back to you so late!! Ok so with these... it's better to go on the "higher" side wattage wise (obviously don't want to go crazy). Because it's going to be regulated it's good to do this IMO just to make sure that when it's cooler, it can still provide adequate heat...

It looks great! And so does she 😍
