I have the same question. My house stays consistently in the 30% range overnight and I’m worried it might cause problems. I’ve read mixed reviews that foggers are excessive for veiled chameleons. I do mist after lights out and before lights on.. is that enough? I sleep after my chameleon does should I mist more before I go to bed?
Fogging is a great to and the temperature range you have is safe. I would recommend checking the Chameleon academy website @Chameleonacademy.com for caresheets and information about Fogging.
In the wild? No because you can’t get into the areas they live right now. Petr mentions it in the podcast, and also mentions how much fog rolls in in those areas. This is his first hand experience there seeing it, but he wasn’t doing these fog experiments when he was there, he was there prior to that. Go listen to those podcasts and I think you’ll get your answer.
I am not sure what chameleons this has been experimented on, if you have a veiled chameleon and a gram scale it might be a fun thing for you to try and report back to us
@Beman says that you shouldn’t use a fogger unless your night fogging from temps between 55-65. Anything higher can cause a respiratory infection he said so that’s why I stopped using my fogger I keep my Cham around 68-72 at night so I don’t fog. @Beman has more experience on this topic maybe he can chime in.
BEMAN IS A LADY .
Beaman is a woman . And a pretty awesome one at that . The majority of your comment is correct trying to run your fogger 65 or below you’re within 2° of the temperature recommended . Should be fairly easy to get those temperatures down 2° I think it would be worth it to try to achieve that with the rewards that come from fogging and the hydration of your animal . there is such a thing as over hydrating . But I’ve been yet unable to achieve that . All my foggers run and have been running for years At nighttime temperatures 65 or below though I can’t say that it always maintained those low temperatures plus or -3 to 5° . The benefits from this hydration method far outweigh the ability to drop my temperatures two more degrees .
68 is still considered safe. Cooler levels are always better. I happen to keep mine between 60-65 at night fogging or not fogging.
Hey there... So fogging is a fantastic thing to incorporate into your husbandry when your night time temps are low below 68. with your 30% humidity you are on the edge of being ok for daytime if you have a veiled. But for night you really want it higher.
