The type of chameleons you’re keeping come from two different habitats. Panthers experience temperatures quite a bit higher than Calumma parsonii cristifer. The average daytime high temperatures in say Ambilobe or Sambava are in the the mid 80’s to low 90’s where as the average high temperatures in Andasibe where Cristifer’s are found is in the low to mid 70’s. I don’t think it would be a good idea to keep Panthers in cooler temperatures than mid to low 80’s especially in summer. The Cristifer’s would probably do better with temperatures on the mid to low 70’s in summer. They come from quite different habitats.

Thank you for sharing your insights! Always appreciated. Luckily the temperatures in my enclosures are tailored to the specific species requirements. The vast majority of the people watching my videos are brand-new chameleon keepers so the content in my videos are targeted to new keepers who are just getting started and may be experiencing their first hot summer with their panthers and veileds. It would be great to make some Cristifer specific videos at some point!
