Sunlight

[HUBSonDUBS]

I have two female, month and a half old nosy be's. Currently they are doing great. My question is can I bring their enclosure outside so that they can get real sunlight? If so how long? I live in Gainesville, Florida and temp. is around 90's everday. I also have a year and a half nosy be male. How long can I leave him outside exposed to sunlight per day? Also I do not use D3 in my calcium.

Can you provide some details on your cage? Is it glass? Screen? How large?

its not the amount of time they need shady area to retreat to if you have that you can leave them out as long as temps permit i keep my ambilobes out all summer but they have plenty of places to take refuge from the sun

no shade = fried chameleon fries

i would also keep misting up if they are in those temps

90 F for baby is a bit hot.
So, generally i would suggest to wait until the weather is a bit cooler.
But, if you insist, you need lots of shades and you will need to give them lot more misting periods to allow them to cool down in that weather.

Since you are not using D3 supplements, then you will be better of caring them outside 24/7 (100% possible since you live in Florida).
D3 supplements is a must if you keep your chameleon mostly indoor.

Thank you dodolah. I will try and put them outside when the temp lowers.
