Temperature Concerns/First day jitters

[Whitney]

how high can the temp of a chameleons cage be during the day, and how low can it get at night?
My baby panther is no more than 3months old and his cage is currently 92.3 degrees F with 30% humudity. He is inside on a well lit back porch, but both his lights are off becuase it just seemed way too hot with them on. Should I be concerned and move him inside where its cooler and I can keep his lights on?

Temps for a 3 month old, at the basking spot alone should be no more than 85. 93 in the entire cage is WAY to hot! Humidity needs to come up as well. Temps in your cage should vary from 73-85 (85 being the basking spot). For indoor use, a regular 40/60W house bulb is more than enough. If inside please make sure you have a Reptisun 5.0 TUBE UVB light. Let us know and please do some more research

mist the cage down with a nice cool water lol

chams are tough but that isnt the idea for 3 month old panthers...it can not be in your house? do you have A/C?

Lol ya, temps that high a cage should have no issue with humidity if misted. I bet the water dry's up fast huh?

okay, everythings fine, i have a zoo med 60 watt bulb and a reptisun 5.0. the location of my house he was in was just too warm, but everythings good and his basking spot is back to around 80.
