4-5 times a day for 5 minutes sounds like alot of water! Probably too much. It should be able to dry out between mistings pretty good. Go to the garden center at Wal Mart or Home Depot and buy a pressurized pump sprayer like they use for insecticides. Then you just push a button and can get them adjusted at a very fine spray. I wouldn't screw with laying the towel over the cage it's too much work to keep it wet and it's tacky LOL. Keep the humidifier as close as you can to the cage and depending on which kind you have, let it direct the humid air towards the the cage. Plants seem to help alot and even if you can't fit any more IN the cage, they help just as much right next to the cage. Buy thick plants like pothos or hibiscus (only healthy hibiscus's are thick) and put them up against the outsides of the cage. They also keep the chameleons feeling safe and hidden and will help block anything outside the cage that they shouldn't be seeing anyways, if there is anything. Wherever I have a spot next to a cage that I can fit a plant on, I have one on. I also have some small, 4-7 foot trees (hibiscus, ficus and mulberry) in my garage with the chams and it keeps the humidity pretty high. What is the humidity at? Ideally, veileds should have 60% or more, but realistically, they don't need that much. If you were around 40-50% I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot. Just my opinion feel free to disagree.
