[PdragonChameleons]

Can someone help me with my humidity i spray my chameleons cage 4 to 3 time's a day and it never goes higher then 20% to i need to put hotish water in the spray bottle.

It looks like the probe is sitting pretty high in the enclosure. You want to put the probe in the middle of the enclosure to get the best readings. I think the probe being so close to the lights may be having a drying effect on the air around the probe itself. Try moving it and lets see what the reading will be.

And also another thing do u think my babypanther chameleon is drinking i spray the cage but i never seen him drink some water

You may never see him drink if he doesn't want you too. The best way to know if he is getting enough water is to make sure his urates (the white part of his poop)stay white and don't turn a dark orange. If they turn dark orange, or you see his eyes starting to sink in then you could have an issue with him not getting enough to drink. Good luck

There was more urate that was Orange but it fell

If that is fresh he could be a little. But if it's been setting a while I would go with borderline. Do you use a dripper?

 

[jpowell86]

It's a little tinged. Can you post a pic of your cham?

Yes i do use a dripper

He doesn't look that dehydrated to me lets see what jpawell86 thinks. I would just increase his misting, and make sure he is getting a drip at least 4 hours a day. Just curious does he have plenty of places to hide? can't see much from the pic it looked a little under planted. cute little bugger by the way!

Should i add more plants

 

[jpowell86]

He looks good as far as hydration is concerned. Put about three times that much foliage in his enclosure. That will help maintain humidity and in return help maintain his hydration!

Is a unbrella plant a good idea

 

[jpowell86]

Schefflera arboricola is a great idea!! I would put another pothos in as well. The larger leaves hold more water droplets helping the with humidity battle.
