Outdoor temp

[Ghostbirb]

I can’t seem to remember off the top of my head but what is the best temp to take your chameleon outside? I know there’s a number difference you have to account for but I don’t remember that exact number.

Tomorrows going to be high 50s to lower 60s. So I was wondering if that temp is ok to take Nachito out and give her a little photo shoot outdoors?

I wouldn’t.

I feel like UVB is so important that brief times (30 minutes?) in those temps are no problem IF it is strongly sunny. Their body will absorb sun and you can literally feel them and they are very warm.

However, they will usually turn dark to absorb more of the rays, so probably won't do great for pictures.

I normally wait until 60's... Then in full sun it will be much warmer. I would not do it in 50's

As some one that houses outdoors I don’t leave them out when it’s in the 50’s even when sunny. I agree 60’s is a good temp…

I have no input here, just a request to share your photos when you do get her outside for that photoshoot

Aww thanks lol! Still too cold out here we may get over 60 degrees but it’s looking like high 50s and below for the next two weeks.

Temps are similar here. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I would! just watch for overheating if full sun.

Ok! we have been out for a few minutes, there has been just a little gasping, probably will bring her back inside soon

 

[GrannyK]

Good idea. We go in right away when we catch that.

Ohio, wire cage with large sticks and no shade:
55 if its sunny
75 and sunny he only lasts 30min before hes crawling on the bottom of the wire cage wanting back in from getting hot.
80 sunny and above i might be able to wash the car before he over heats and wants back in.

On the other hand the beardie will just sit out there and bake
Tegu you might as well use a meat thermometer, 120 and sunny, yea give me another 30...
