keeping my cham outside

[THECHAMMAN]

hi, i was wondering if i could keep my cham outside most of the time.
the temps outside are usu 90-95F at the hottest, but there are lots of shady spots that are about 88-85F and the humidity averages about 70%.

from the sound of it, i think he'll be fine.
just make sure the ambient temp no hotter than that. You need to put him inside if it goes beyond that.

i know that, but on my balcony he there is an unbeliveable amount of shade so i dont think its getting much hotter. plus i go out there periodically to water all the plants an that cools the temps too.

Where do you live? I am in FL and it's too hot here to leave them outside all the time. I have a free range on my back porch for Luie but he is only able to use it a couple of hours early morning and late evening and my back porch is shady. If they get hot they need a cooler spot to get to to cool off.
