I need help with my humidity!!!

According to the statistics (http://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Pennsylvania/humidity-annual.php) the ambient humidity is in the high 60's low 70's. I would stop trying to raise the humidity, it is high enough already. Any higher and your desert chameleon will probably get a respiratory infection. I would set up an auto drip system and mist occasionally. This will solve the hydration problem.

Don't pay attention to ambient humidity or a vet that thinks you'll achieve 80%RH in the winter in Pennsylvania (unless you completely block off air flow).

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. It is commonly expressed as percent relative humidity (%RH), defined as the ratio of the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount which could be in the air at a particular temperature. Warm air has the capacity to hold much more moisture than cold air. If the ambient outdoor temperature is 30 degrees and 65% RH and you bring that air indoors and warm it to 70 degrees the relative humidity will be 15% even though the amount of moisture vapor in the air is the same. Maintaining 80% RH in cold weather climates is not realistic or desired.

Looking at your photo and description it appears you have plenty of moisture in the enclosure. If anything I would be concerned it is too much for the amount of airflow being provided.

Thanks everyone, i got two new digital thermometers and hydrometers and everything turned out fine. Also I moved her into a new much bigger cage and she adjusted to it very well. Im also suprised how well the temp/hydro is doing too, i guess you just need to get the right ones! I went out and bought like 4 different kinds!
