IT'S SUMMER!!!! well here it is...but need some help

[Rango09]

Well, not help more like some education...
I live in Southern California, and well, it's summer and I was wondering what I should take into consideration to keep my chameleon comfortable and healthy.
This is my first year with a Veiled Chame, so aside from heat lamp dangers, is there anything I should know?
I know they originate from Yemen (how ever you spell it) and it is obviously hotter there, but I just want to know whatever you guys can tell me, would be really appreciated!!!

if you keep your chameleon indoors and have AC then the summer really has no bearing on your chameleon. Are you talking about taking it outdoors?? or keeping it outdoors?

 

[Rango09]

I have him indoors, in my room with fans on. If the AC were to ever be on, good luck for the cold air to come into my room! Since the AC is in the living room -_-

well what kind of temps are you talking about then if you don't have AC?. If it is too hot in your room I would not keep the heat light on all day.

Honestly I don't know what the temp would be right now, but I know it doesn't get boiling hot, just enough to keep everyone sweating the whole time! But thats kind of what I figures what I would have to do. Just keep his UVB light on

 

[carol5208]

I would definitely get something to measure your temps in your cage. The lights always heat the cage up way hotter than the room itself.

OH I do have meters in there, his basking spot is around 90
