This does have me thinking. Admittedly, my temps are on the lower end of the spectrum usually, especially as we move into winter. We do observe how lower temperatures and less frequent feedings benefit female veiled chameleons with egg production.
Has anyone toyed with lower temperatures in captivity? It'd also certainly make fogging at night less of a potential hazard.

I want to see/learn more about the 16 year old individual. That sounds amazing to me. I would love to see that in captivity.

I did some relatively small variations in temperature through the year for chameleons but I reversed the seasons to how they would occur in the northern hemisphere since in the summer I get too much natural light to fool the Cham into thinking it’s the cool season

I do make pretty large temperature changes for my leopard gecko over the course of the year and he’s done well with. Again basing these changes on climatic data in their home range. He’s certainly less active and eats less in the winter period. It ends up being about a 20 degree swing done gradually throughout the year up and down
