Hello! I've been interested in buying a panther chameleon for the last 6 months and I've done a lot of research on the animal as a pet. I understand mainly everything I need to know about owning one, I just have one problem. I live in Michigan and the insulation in my house isn't the greatest. In the winter, the temperature in my house falls down to around 65 (even with the heat on). I know the chameleon would have a heat lamp for warmth, but I'm concerned that the heat won't stay trapped in the cage (since it's all screen) and the panther may get too cold? I thought that if it gets cold it would move up more towards the lamp, but I'm not sure how that works. My boyfriend is the one who warned me about this, and I was going to ask if there is any way to get around this problem? Say, "rigging up" the cage to where it traps the heat in.. somehow. Any suggestions?
In the past I owned a leopard gecko (for 3 years), and I currently own 3 salamanders. I understand that the maintenance for panther chams is a little higher, but I'm willing to deal with that because I just got rid of my 2 guinea pigs so I have a little bit more time
