Hi,
I am new into all this, just recently last week i have purchased my first ever Reptile Veiled (Yemen) Chameleon. I know they dont require high Humadity during the day, however during the day its easier to obtain higher Humadity then at nights here in Germany! So my issue isnt really during the day, during the day i think its perfect with mist and rain i can achieve any type of results from temp 29,30,31,32,33 which i guess is perfect for them, and humadity from 50 to 70-80% . My issue starts at nights or atleast now, got device inside, and near PC device that shows me Humadity while mist is aswell running best i could achieve was 45-46% i am using Screen as cage 60x45x90 its i guess perfect size cage, i am also using decent mist machine (Hobby Hygro System from amazon it pushes nice amount of mist highly doubt any would be better. It costed me 58 euro and it can automaticly turn off when no watter and i can change diffrent types of mist higher or lower! Aswell times when it should run!
So yeah to return to topic i wanna ask for advice of how can i actually obtain higher Humadity and is it actually needed? Also Temperature to lower to atleast 20, its kind of hard as in room is currently 28.2 and device is showing that temp in cage is 25.6c I invested around 600 euros into all this, i've heard plants can help however so far i got only 1 real plant in cage (scheffler) or something like that i wanted to also buy Ficus (Benjamin) as i like how it spreads and i want to make real jungle feel inside! For him better, also for look while watching at him, its relaxing!
I really struggle to understand how can i improve those things, can plants actually help me or not? i've bought aswell fake plants 2x packs of lots of things,however not sure if it helps anything but would really appriciate any advice i wanna reach perfection for him, so there is no problems later, bought also strip so everything is controlled through phone automaticly at some hours each power is seperated rain, lights,mist, however i am not sure of timings i should run all that... but mostly i wanna know about nights cause from reading through forums, people like to reach atleast 70% humadity at nights, while for me currently that seems impossible mission! Is rain aswell needed inside ongoing while he's sleeping cuz i feel it would wake him up..
While i am writting this i see humadity at 47% however that still is low and its currently 2:48 AM. I am going through google and forums to see what can be changed and done better, i'll invest cash its not problem. I'll upload some photos aswell of him sleeping, aswell of how i did most of things video if its possible here, so you can tell me is this good or it could be better. I want clean look and to be actually functional for him... it might be to clean, however yea, also to point out since i'll be posting video, i'll change UVB lamp to another that goes above cage, this is only current one that i mistakenly orderd, however if it gets colder to much i guess i could use it depending on nights, however i dont think in apartment it will ever drop bellow 15, but for safety precautions i'll have it ready!
Do you guys think 1 more plant would solve this issue? or what can be done.
I am sorry for so much text and for misspells my english isnt the best.
I wanted to give as much informations as possible, so you could understand my situation as best as possible... If i missed anything, please correct me down, and i'll fullfill in reply! Cheers to you all Chameleon Lovers!
