Fan blowing in chameleon enclosure?

[Averyshazam]

Hey guys! I have another post about how I’ve been struggling with humidity so I added more shower curtain to a little less than half of the front door of the enclosure as well as both sides.
To avoid stagnant air I put a fan next to it to and it miraculously helped with the humidity retention immensely! It seemed to be blowing the water back in?
Is there any reason this wouldn’t be a wise thing to do? It seems to be solving the air flow issue and help the humidity issue but I want to make sure I’m not doing anything in the wrong direction.

Hi there. If you want to do something like this. I would recommend getting a small computer fan that has a adjustable control on it and put it on top of the enclosure so it draws out the air and humidity vs. blowing it in. I have used this in the past https://www.amazon.com/Wathai-Contr...YC7V,B07XBSJYFH&srpt=ELECTRONIC_COMPONENT_FAN

Shower curtains such a eye sore. I would recommend using window shrink film looks better and will give you a tighter seal. Here is a example https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/alternate-clearside-diy.168320/
And for humidity I would add live plants the fan won’t help with humidity. Perhaps the fan you have now is just passing that humid air through your gauge making you think it’s increasing the humidity. If you add more plants this will improve your humidity along with covering your sides. Then a PC fan like @Mrjamwin said will come in handy to prevent stagnant air and even prevent fungus gnats.

What are you using to gauge your humidity? Is accurate and reliable?? I just quickly read through your other post and seen you have many of live plants already. And doing a lot of watering almost too much. I would second guess you gauge. Here is what I would recommend SensorPush HT.w Wireless Thermometer/Hygrometer Water-Resistant for iPhone/Android. USA Made Indoor/Outdoor Humidity/Temperature/Dewpoint/VPD Monitor/Logger. Smart Sensor with Alerts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PKWPKM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_XG6J49GFK4HQDRY9MMHS

I think I covered some of this in the other thread.

I agree if a fan is used, it should draw rather than push.

For instrumentation, I like these:

They're cheap, I don't have a smart phone, and they have big numbers I can see from the back of the enclosure.
