Temperature For Male??

[MrTommy]

What should be the temperature for a male yemen chameleon?

 

[LLGabriel]

Depends on the age. Baby/juvenile (<9 months): ambient 72-80F (22-26C), basking 85F (29C)
Adult males: ambient 75-80F (23-26C), basking 90-95F (32-35C)
Adult females: ambient 75-80F (23-26C), basking 85F (29C)
Pulled from their caresheet.

Well i think he's around 4-6 months not really sure tho the basking area is about 80-84?
Won't 90-95 be to hot?

84F is fine if he's young, and you can raise it to 90F when he's a little older. And no, if the cage is a good size and the basking light is in one corner he should have enough options to move in and out and regulate himself properly. Veileds like a bit of heat and do well at about 90F under the basking spot - so long as the ambient temperatures can stay cooler. Is he in glass/wood or screen? The type of cage may dictate how warm you can go before the interior temps don't stay cool.

I keep my veileds a litte cooler. A male at 4 to 6 months I would bask no higher than 85. My adult males I bask at 89. You might find my blog for new keepers helpful.
