Leaving my flexarium at the balcony.

[xaviert]

Hi guys, I'm living at a place where the temperature is around 31 degrees celcius at 12 pm and will drop to 25 degrees celcius coolest at night. I'm having a panther chameleon in like a week. Is it okay to leave my flexarium outside at the balcony? Btw how many hrs of natural sunlight is sufficient for a panther daily?

Thats a bit warm, but if he has plenty of shade on the hot days, and regular mistings, Id say its fine. Keep a close eye on him though.

agreed, outside at that temp I would suggest an automatic misting system. Also be sure there are no large birds or other predators that could get to and tear into your cage.

Yep I'll provide them with more foilage, don't think theres any large birds here. There used to be crows but its all been hunted down lately. I'm getting a mist king as well. Do i have to bring them in if it's been raining? and do i need to provide them artificial uvb if its been cloudy for days?

As long as they have sufficeint hiding places I wouldnt worry about a little rain storm, but I would bring him in in really bad weather. Even in cloud cover there should be enough uvb for a cham. In the wild the sun doesnt shine everyday
