First time outside

Finally upgraded to a screen cage for my veiled, and I decided she would enjoy some natural sunlight. Her color is so much nicer outside in the sun. I think I'm going to put her outside every day. The more time she's outside the better, right?

Here's her cage:

Here she is on the top of her ficus:

Nice looking female!
How old is she?
What part of the world are you located in?
What are the temperatures there?

To answer your question, yes.
Natural sunlight is great for your chameleon.
Most of my chameleons get several hours on natural light each week.
It only takes a few hours of unfiltered sunlight each week for them to produce their own vitamin D3.
The best sunlight occurs between 10am and 2pm.
I'm not sure what you dusting scheduel is like, but you dont need to dust with calcium with D3 as often.
If she is getting a couple days a week of natural sunlight, then their is really no reason so dust with D3 at all.

I even put my chameleons out for a rainstorm...:rolleyes:
Not sure if anyone else does it, but they seem to enjoy it.

I'm not entirely sure how old she is, but I know she's around 4 1/2 inches. I would have to guess that she is around 5 months old? I actually got her at a Petsmart around here, I think it was in February or March. I live in New Jersey, it'd say the average temperature is 85 degrees f.
