Temp Question

[Vic]

Hi all could someone tell me what sort of temp it needs to be outside to put my Cham out? Im hoping that we might get a nice summer this year in the UK and would like to put my cham outside for some sun.

what kind of chameleon do you have?

I'm in the UK too. Not sure on the outside temps but I did put Lily outside last summer - she loved it. I will probably leave it until the really warm weather starts at end of May/beginning of June, and then put her out when it's nice. I am careful to watch her (although she is in a cage) just in case she gets too hot and mist her often. Also avoid putting them out in the hottest part of the day. When it's a bit breezy I peg an old sheet around the cage so she gets the sun but no draft! They bask differently in the sun - they lean right over and flatten their bodies while going very dark. The heat of the sun works wonders with their digstive systems too!! Poop guaranteed when she's sunbathing!!

hi probably should have said i have a Veiled cham he's 8 months now

If the outside temp is close to your normal indoor ambient temp, and if in a sunbeam he can warm up a bit more, and if he can move out of sunbeams to cool
