I'll never understand how the FL keepers can house their chams outside. The only time I'm able to take mine out is very late in the evening right before dust. I sometimes try to allow them on the screened back porch very early in the morning but it gets hot so fast out there. I live one mile from the beach and normally have a cool ocean breeze but that still does not help. By the time they would start to get morning UV they would be cooking. I test with my UV meter and there's no morning UV at all until around 10am and then it's only 2. Below are the temps on my porch at 10 am. The big cage does get some morning sun but has lots of shade, too. I can check the temps out there all through the day and even up until 5:00 in the evening it's still over 100.
