Take the crickets put them in the fridge for a few minutes to slow them down. Take a pair of tweezers and just hit or break the hind legs. Put the crickets in feeder dishes..no jumping crickets..
Nothing worse than a free ranging male cricket at 3 AM....

Here in Southern California I had panthers, veileds and oustaletis outside 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. The only times they were brought in was when it would freeze. They then when right back out in the morning before I left for work. I can remember many times putting them in...
I smoked for 10 years and quit 11 years ago. I am a firm believer when you are READY to quit you WILL. Cold turkey with the patch for 3 days is the best way to do it ( worked for me). If I can quit anyone can!!

I miss mine. I had 14 prior to 1994. The hardest thing to grasp from the photos is the actual size of Parsoni.. they are HUGE compared to other chameleons. Back legs as big around as my thumb!
The weight of them is amazing also.
I also had oustaleti , the longest chameleon, and yet the...
Unfortunately most thermostats are either "on or off" Just like you home thermostat, on until X temp is obtained then off, when temp falls below X then back on until temp X is obtained, and so on.

Not too bad on the cost.. I built many 8 foot X 4 foot X 3 foot years ago and even a walk in 10x10x6 for my 27 pound C. nubila nubila
I am fortunate enough to live in an area where the chameleons can be kept outside 24 7 365 days a year

They COST that much because people pay it!
Look at the recent post on here about XXX babies they started at 40 no one bit and now they are 30.
If no one paid the high prices then the prices would drop.
Plain and simple.

Way back when my first WC adult Panthers were 69.99 for the male and 49.99 for a female. Parsons were 129.99 (had 14 of them). My first pair of veileds were 700.00 for the pair. Things have changed. My first pancake tortoise was 39.99 and they went up to 400-500 each. Again things have...
Attached is a thermal image of a 2-3 month old veiled chameleon. Chameleon was in a 65 °F room overnight then placed outside, outside sunny and 67 °F. After basking for less than two minutes in a screen cage the chameleons temperature rose almost 30 °F.

Do not know how to set up a poll.
Just curious as to how low people let their night time temperatures drop for calyptratus and Malagasy species (panther, oustaleti and verricosis)?
How did you come up with that range?
If caged outdoors during day at what temperature do you bring them in...
