Madagascar Weather

Hey guys, to be honest it's been a lot of years since I lived somewhere that it got over 85F so I'm a bit hesitant to comment on extremes of heat. But, from my experience with all the species I've had, I really believe a large cage with lots of foliage is necessary for getting through the really hot days outside. Technically, ambient 95F shouldn't be a problem but I'd probably still be a little worried about it. Heat index shouldn't matter; that's only how hot the humidity plus heat makes it "feel" to us humans. The higher humidity on those days should actually feel good to them, or at least, natural.
