outside night temperature

[armando]

Helloooo everyone!
I have a question here...
My veiled´s enclosure has been outside in my backyard for about 2 months now... I live in a fairly hot place (sonora desert) .. so weather has been nice
And my cham has been having natural sun light to bask, he is loving it!!!
but now... it seems that winter (wich is not so cold) is right in the corner....
temperature during the night is starting to drop, and right now we are having nights in the 59F... and it seems that it will stay in there for a week or so more...
when do you guys think I should bring my cham back inside?
Just in case... he is 1 year and 5 months old
thanks a lot everyone

I dont see 59 as an issue as long as he is able to bask and warm up directly in the sun in the AM. Although I dont keep veiled, I intentionally drop the temp in my Cham room into the upper 50's at night year round (panthers and montane species).

For years 50 was my cutoff for night temps and bringing veileds in.
A couple of years ago I dropped it all the way to 40 and they have done great.

Great, I will do the same... I will wait until they drop somewhere around 45-50...
I will cover his cage during the night tho....
dont want my lil boy to be too cold
it seems that he is enjoying so much being outside...

Wow armando, you can sure tell. Look at the smile on his face in your avatar. He definitely loves it outside. He looks really happy.
