Outside help?

[gngorman]

Ok my veiled has been outside all day today the high was 83 it got to 85, can i leave him out all night tonight the low is 53 is that too cold the lowest it is supposed to get this week is 51 and it will be in the 80's all week. Do you guys think it would be cool to leave him out for a couple of days or so. He has lots of live plants and foilage, plus a dripper and i mist with a pump sprayer 3-4 times a day. The sun is going down now and i really need to know if i have to bring him in.

Personally, I would bring him in. I would never let my chams get down in the 50's.

I agree. Not so much because of the temps are so low. But because your chams not used to that cold of conditions. Im sure your home isnt that cold at night. If he were acclimated to being outside slowly i dont think it would be a big issue.

Oh yeah and i wouldnt leavemine outside at night because of coons and cats!

Not so much worried about coons and cats, its a big ass sturdy cage and its on my porch, what if i put a heat emmiter on his cage for a couple of nights untill he can get acclimated?

My veiled was outside in the 30's, its good for them to slow down a bit. It give their body a chance to rest being that everything slows down a bit. Chameleons need a period of rest.

I say if he is healthy he will be fine.

Your veiled is young isn't he? Another reason to not allow him to get too cold.
