During the day, my cage temps run from 71deg in the lower 1/4 of the enclosure up to the low 90's in the basking area. Feldman is able to take care of his thermo-regulation quite well. Night cage temps run between 65-70 degrees depending on elevation in the enclosure. 83-85 degrees for a...

That is a great Christmas Card! Good job!!

They are all very handsome. A great family of chams. :D

I wish I had said that! :D
