So I've been wanting a panther chameleon for many months, but I wanted to wait to the dead of winter to see just how cold my basement got and if it's ok for a chameleon to survive. I have rock iguanas and bearded dragons in my basement, but the humidity isn't as important for them and quite honestly they are not as fragile as chameleons. I have been keeping the outside temperature on a daily basis and marking the temperature in my basement as well to see what the difference is. The coldest my basement has been is 60 degrees, so with the proper lighting I do not think that is an issue. However, the humidity has dropped to 20% during the winter.
My question is, if using a misting system (I have never used one of these before), can a chameleon survive the cold winter in my basement?
