Just have a couple questions.

[Kylarben92]

She is doing way better I think she ate like 15 crickets today. And she is chilling in her basking spot which is sitting between 83-85f. I was just wondering. My house doesnt have central air. So I have air conditioner in my room for the summer bc it gets super miserable in my house especially in my room. Her enclosure is in my room. And I know running the air conditioner will take humidity out of the air. So I'll either have to move her or step up my humidy with a fogger which I cant afford atm or a misting system which Is in the same boat of money wise. The only other place I could move her would be to the first floor. But it gets super hot down here also and it's an old house so no air conditioning down stairs. I'm just worried about her and dont know what to do. I'm also posting some pictures of her. Good ones. And I'm hoping yall can help me judging her age and if she is in fact a female.

Hi. I’m not good at telling age, but your chameleon looks quite young. @Gingero already addressed how to tell male from female. I did take a super quick glance at your previous posts and saw that you already received great advice and suggestions on your husbandry. You should probably get rid of the mossy vines as your cham may try to eat the moss and get impacted. You can scavenge some branches from outside as a replacement. Avoid pine and other fir trees...oak is good. Then wash with soapy water, rinse well and dry. You did wrap the enclosure with a shower curtain, which will help maintain humidity. You want humidity around 30-40% during the day and at night it can get up to 80-100%. Although I live in humid Florida, I run the central ac just about 24/7 and ambient humidity in my house stays in the high 30’s to mid 40’s. At night you can run a cool mist humidifier next to the enclosure. While there are some really nice humidifiers made specifically for reptiles, you can use the more affordable ones made for humans. Hope this helps.
