So, thinking ahead here, as spring still hasn't sprung up here, but I'm rearranging some furniture this weekend, and moving cages around. So I'm still sort of debating placement, and how hot summer days will affect the chameleons. I mean, I"m hoping to actually have them OUTside as much as possible, but when they're inside I don't want them overheating if they're in a more stagnant corner, nor freezing if they're in the main A/C blast either. Also wondering about the effect of fans, which is how we normally deal with the bedrooms.
See upstairs we only have a window air conditioner, and only one window it will fit in appropriately, in our "living roomish" kind of area. If a cage goes anywhere in there, it will get a major chill even on the opposite side of the room (I know because our computer used to be there and I'd have to wrap myself in a blanket. lol)
In the one bedroom we usually have an oscillating fan going, pretty much 24/7.
In the other bedroom there is a ceiling fan, and usually an oscillating fan as well.
So, questions:
a) Will the fans bother the chameleons? Or will it just be a refreshing breeze in an otherwise kinda stuffy room?
b) Would the chill of the air conditioner bother the chameleons? Or would it just be like winter - most of cage is kinda chilly, up near basking spot is fine?
I'm just concerned because we had one really warm day last week and I had to turn my one basking light off cause it got too hot. Then we had snow a few days later, and it was freezing in here. So I'm imagining that's what it's going to be like in summer.
