A passive option I used with my iguana is hang a wet cloth or towel over much of one wall. Like the dripper it will hold a lot of water and almost time release it. It will also be laundry easy to clean and could give you a background for the cage.

I played with it a lot and misting the hanging towel or hanging a wet towel worked best. I also tried having the bottom hang into a tub of water and wick up or have the top sit in a tub and wick down. Wicking up form below you fight gravity too much, wicking down from above and you make a drip system.

Plants are great if you don't have something that will destroy them. Look for lower light options like pothos or philodendrons. A spider plant would work too but I think the wider leafs of the previously mentioned ones would be best.

If you want / need rain PLEASE take ours. We're in flood stage and I actively bailed 50 gallons of rain water out of my back yard today. Month-to-date 15.84 inches of rain for Rockford IL, previous record was 12 and change. Rain still fills the 10 day forecast.

Yeah I would suggest live plants

You could also try cutting back on the air conditioning. That dries out the air like crazy! The idea of a humidifier is not bad, but putting a humidifier and a de-humidifier in the same room and letting them fight it out seems like a lot of wasted electricity! Do you have a good hygrometer? Maybe it's not as dry in there as you think?
I like Mark's ideas of the wet towels and the idea of live plants.
Good luck and keep us posted.

That was my next question, what does your hydrometer read in his enclosure?

Well, that's the thing. The advice that I've gotten from the person that raised this cham from a baby, Is that a hydrometer doesn't work in a screened enclosure. If you put one in a glass tank, There will be two problems. #1 they will see their reflection and attack a glass barrier which will cause injury and more stress. #2 chams are susceptible To breathing problems in stagnant "Tank" air.

I Understood that this would be a "High Maintenance" animal when I got him.

Well, everysince it's started raining, It's been no problem. The temps have dropped by ten degrees. The humidity is just as miserable as it should be. The sun beats down all day driving up the moisture that causes t'storms in the evening. That's typical Georgia summertime weather. We hear thunder every day about 6 or 7 O'clock.
When I mist the cage in the A.M., It's still moist when I get home from work.
My A.C. is not very efficient in removing H2O. It's really old!
I can sure tell the difference at work though, I'm a welder by trade and I'm having to drink 3 times the amount of water. You don't want to live here if you hate humidity! Unless you like to sweat Or have an office job.

A hygrometer works regardless of the type of enclosure. Measuring humidity in the air is the same whether its inside a screen cage or a glass one. Its altering the humidity in the air that is more dificult in a screened cage since yu are more or less working with al the air in the room.

Well, like I said, when I come home, everything is still moist. That's a big difference than a week ago. We had a 3 week combo of low humidity(Drought) and High temps. We get that every year for a couple or few weeks. But, this year has been tough.
But, It only lasted a few weeks. And, I don't mind busting some bun for the sake of my animals!

I hear ya! Its a hard trick to create a slice of a tropical environment in our homes for our critters while at the same time being able to have a living space that WE (and our spouses) can tolerate!
And this time of year, at least around here turning off the AC is not an option!
Everything in the house would cook!

I'll trade you. When I did the inspection for buying my house -- 3 pm, full sun, 1st of February this year -- it was all the way up to 3 above zero Fahrenheit with winds gusting to about 20 mph.
