hey guys, I keep my male veiled outside in hot south florida, and i just wanted to see if perhaps i should bring my cham in at night for a bigger night temp drop. I'm worried his metabolism may not be getting a chance to properly slow down at night, since i've read 60-70F is ideal for veileds as it facilitates heavy sleeping...summer nights here right now are minimum 79F max 84F with around 70% humidity.
82F-84F too high nighttime temp?

Try to drop it into the 70's atleast. 
it's very easy to bring him inside for me, and the mixed opinions on night temps make me worried. slightly off topic, i have an indoor steam room which stays quite humid when not on, and is completely enclosed. maybe i should mist him in the steam room? currently i only mist with spring water only.
regarding temps, i know he can survive at night. my friends with panthers all keep them outside most of the year, but i want the best for him so he lives as long as possible, so this is why i ask.

max ambient is 89F during the summer, but i keep him in the shade so in the cage he gets a range depending on his location. at night it ranges from 79-84.
I read for veileds basking temp of 90F is ideal, I would estimate his shady areas are around 83F especially with all the plants but i really must get a thermometer and check.
so, too hot?
