Outdoor temps

[Sara270]

Can someone remind the bottom/low ambient temp (in fahrenheit) that f. pardalis can tolerate?

I am thinking it is 60 degrees, but can't recall for sure. I want to move my panther outside completely for the summer. I'm in So Cal by the coast and temps in the evening are hovering around 60 at night. Sound okay?

You are right , In the range of 60 - 65 is OK. I am in So Cal too Orange county.

Edit : It should not however be allowed to drop below about 60F (70f is better for growing babies).

isn't California great.

The best! Thanks for the verification! He'll be happy to be permanently outdoors again.

Thanks for the edit. I will monitor to make sure it is not lower than 65. I also have an infrared if it is just a few degrees low at night. Also, he is over 1.5 years so he is a bit hardier than the wee lil guys.

Sounds like you're all set, Are you going to the reptile show on the 28th? I am going but have to drive for an hour and a half.

Of course! I know of several others from the forum that are going too or who have booths. I went last year and it was a great event. A little crowded, but many different reptiles not just the usual snakes and beardies.
