This was my first cham from Repticon show. I did not enough and lost him in a few months. I did not have the fogger and my thermostat for home was set at 77. I didn't have the right lights at first and did not know that they can get temporal gland disease. I wrote something in the obits here. Poor Rambo. Vet was not available and he never ate much. Good luck.

Dang, I'm learning all kinds of stuff today.
Temporal Gland Infection in Chameleons
Back when I kept green anoles, the literature didn't say "boo" about UVB or MBD.
Fortunately, I had them on a screened porch with southern exposure, so I lucked out.
I wasn't so lucky when I tried again 15 years later—the UV couldn't penetrate the window they were in front of, so I lost them.
We've all made mistakes out of ignorance or naïveté. Doesn't help, but we learn & do better.

I've been real lucky that I've been exposed to a lot of lovely talented people who are not jerks on this site, I would love to continue that streak. @TimothyOnTop enough is enough putting people down. You can have your opinion but they are entitled to theirs.

I completely agree with you but I never took a shot at anyone until they started with me so for me to get called out as the jerk is absurd

You do not need to be so rude though, saying people are dumb.

How do you keep humidity at night up?? Also, your chameleon is adorable, what's his or her's name?

Per fogging or not to fog.... There are multiple ways to hydrate... A lot depends on your ambient levels as well. It is not one size fits all approach.
So base it off what your levels are... If they are lower then 75% at night even with a 3-4 minute misting session then fogging may work for you.
Now then let me give you resources:

I've been hard on the fogging lately, let me clarify one final time just so nobody that does this method thinks I'm being rude about. I am not against it at all, I did it when I was able to and ideally I would like a chameleon to see cooler humid/foggy nights. What I'm against is that it is the only way and chameleons are seeing drastically shorter lives from not using one. This I do not think is true. Not too long ago, the common advice was "let the cage dry out at night and mist heavyyy during the day". While this may not be exactly like their natural habitat, they still seemed to thrive with this advice. The only RI's I've ever seen chams get on here were from either poor set ups or stressful circumstances(WC for example). Not to say it doesn't happen, but for all of us that have good care regardless of how are set ups might be a little bit different, it seems to be a pretty rare thing. Maybe @ferretinmyshoes can correct me on that though if I'm wrong.
