How long can my cham stay out of his cage?

[myma81]

My veiled seems to enjoy time out of his cage. He usually comes over to climb up my arm when I'm spraying or cleaning. I live in England so it's not usually warm enough for him, unless it's a particularly hot day, so I have a heat lamp set up at a window where he goes to get warm. But I obviously want him getting enough UV rays too? Does anyone set up a UV lamp around their house as well as basking light? Or can he go without it for an hour or 2 a day?

My panther loves being out i have to have his door shut when I'm misting otherwise he's out strait away lol! I have a free range set up with a heat lamp and a ubv,but i don't always have the uv on, he gets more than enough in his cage with my T5 ubv i have in there, i think he should be fine as long as he has some heat, also my Cham climbs down from his free range up my sofa right to the other side of the room to the window with his umbrella plant and there is no heat or ubv there at all and he will sit and chill for an hour or so there having a nosey out the window, and he is fine! I move him back in his cage or back to his free range after an hour or so as I'm worried he will be abit cold, but he will stay on his free range for hours on end with is heat bulb on so that shouldn't be a problem, oh and I'm in sunny england too lol and my room temp is good enough for him

I am sure in the wild there are days when the sun does not shine and they don't get any if much uvb so a few hours away from the uvb is not going to hurt him.

Excellent, thanks for your help I can now rest at ease.

Also weird

Mine is a weirdo to lol. He goes around the outside of the cage and sometimes he goes back in by himself but there are times where he climbs down this fake plant and walks around my room. He won't climb on my hand unless he is outside and is using me to try to get to the bigger trees where I won't allow him to go or I have to man handle him onto my hand lol.

How long can he be out for I live in England surrey and my 5m panther loves to be out on his ficus but would stay there all day and night if I let him. but I don't have a heat source on it so hes at room temp 19-22c most of the time ??? Will he get to cold, will it affect him getting to cold? Thanks xx

You need a heat source now they need a heat source remember they are native to warm climate and are cold blooded so need an external heat supply
