Panther Chameleon

Question
hello, I was told that humidity is one of the biggest concerns with chameleons.  I was thinking about moving to the beach this summer and was going to bring my 7 month old panther chameleon with me .. but the air is some what salty there and I didn't know if that would affect or be a harmful for the chameleon?  What would you think?

Answer
Hi Bekki, I don't think that would be an issue provided that he is not actually being sprayed with seawater! Panthers are native to the lowland coastal areas of northern Madagascar and its smaller islands where they are surrounded by the Indian ocean.
