New humidifier/ Cham on screentop

So I recently wrapped 3 sides of my screen cage in clear shower curtain to help with humidity. It is super clear and there is no reflection. I was still having low humidity so I got an ultrasonic cool mist humidifier and used a tube to run it so the mist was coming in through the top of the screen. It was coming out very slow and light but when I checked about two hours later my Cham had crawled to the top of the screen and was hanging upside down. I've had him for about 3 weeks now and this has never happened before. There's a ton of climbing space and foliage for hiding. Is he maybe afraid of the mist?

Maybe not afraid, but it is new for him. Maybe arrange the plants so there's a spot he can retreat to where the fog won't reach him as much. It won't hurt him to be "fogged" but some chams don't really like it. I've had jackson's who would sit so the fog poured right down over them. Individual I guess.
