So my daytime humidity is too high and I was wondering how to decrease It. I did the obvious like removing excess Foliage and moving his cage to a less humid part of the house. But it is still to high, I live near the beach in Southern California and this year for some reason its been more humid then it usually is (damn climate change lol). So I was wondering what you guys suggest I do my daytime humidity is in the low 60s to high 50s. I have a Jacksons Chameleon.

I'm having the same problem. This year is unusually humid. I'm running the air conditioner more than usual to remove some of the humidity from the house. They do make dehumidifiers and there are some crystals that absorb moisture you can buy but the Santa Ana's will be here soon and things should dry out, probably too much.

That would make it more humid would it not?

It would allow you to control the humidity. If ambient humidity is low, we recommend closing sides of mesh cages with plastic. This would also allow you to lower the humidity in an enclosure when ambient is high. Less misting and including a fan to draw in moist air which will be absorbed by plants and soils. The heat from the lighting should dry the enclosure out. At least this is my theory.
ummmm yeah mine was a bit more then that. I got the 30 pint one it works really well. I run it in the same room with his enclosure. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NRDBBH5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For example the cage was at 80% at 6am this morning. I turned it on at 7 am when it was at 77%. Now it is 43%. I try to keep him as close to 40% as possible with him being a Veiled and needing lower daytime humidity. It is not a very loud unit either. I do have to dump the water every day though.
i can't leave something outside here without fungus growing all over it haha
