Get off that subreddit immediately and use chameleon academy as your source of truth. You will have a much better chameleon keeping experience.

Here is the cage on this cold February morning. Hard to believe in only two months it will be lush and green!

@crosscutts and @DeremensisBlue are working on a cage diy series right now. I hope to begin a 2024 outdoor keeping thread soon!

Depends on the species you are keeping. I have a nosy be panther and he does great outdoors from early May to late September. I live in the Midwest and as long as temps are between 55 and 95 he is good to go. If there are any really cold nights or really hot days I bring him back to the...

Patiently waiting for spring outdoor keeping to begin!...

I also have not seen these since the early 2000s. Crazy such a "common" species isn't more popular in captivity. Is anyone breeding these or was it imported?

That is very encouraging... I really wanted to keep Parsons outdoors but always thought they would be uncomfortable over 80-85.

What are you finding the temperature highs a Parsons is comfortable outdoors? I have always wanted a Parsons but I do worry about them overheating compared to a pardalis.

He seems to tolerate the heat well, the cage is in full shade by 1pm, I add more misting sessions when it's hot and I usually bring him indoors if the air temp goes above 95.

I can't believe it's already late August...

Follow the chameleon academy methods and you will have a good experience.

The goal is to have high humidity nights and a thick layer of dew on plant surfaces available for drinking in the first couple hours of the morning, and then allow the cage to dry out during the day. There are several ways to achieve this but a fogger and mist king are the easiest and most...

July weather has brought major growth to the outdoor enclosure!

He usually basks for the first 2-3 hours of the morning then disappears into the foliage. Depending on the temperature of the day sometimes I see him out in the evening as well, but the cage is in full shade by early afternoon.

July update the cage has filled out nicely. Cryo is feeling green this morning.

Use the color of urates as your guide (all white). Also the goal is high humidity nights with mist and fog and a thick layer of dew on the plant surfaces during the first couple hours of the morning. Then we typically dry out the cage all day except for occasional dripper or mister sessions...

Dragon ledges are the gold standard but I have also used diy versions. I believe Neptune has a video showing a diy option.

I think that may be too frequent and not allowing the cage to dry out fully. The goal is to have high humidity nights and a thick layer of dew for them to drink in morning. Dry the cage out during the day with an occasional afternoon mist or drip session depending on if they need more...

I use mustard or collard greens for mine that I got from @SauceGandhi. Also hanging the greens from the top seems to get them to feed more readily.
