Outside enclosure temps???

[mcghee26]

Ok I have a quick question. I have an ambilobe panther and he loves being outside. I had him outside this morning and he really got mad when I had to bring him in. So onto the question. Today it is going to reach 90 degrees outside, is that too hot to leave him outside for a couple of hours? If so, at what temp should I be bringing him in. Right now it is in the mid 70's, but will soon be getting hot, and I would like to keep him outside as much as I can because he is so much more active. Thanks in advance for all the input.

I live in Florida and my chameleon is outside all the time in 90 degrees plus for hours on end. Just make sure he has shade, water and I mist him to cool him down periodically. As long as he is not gaping from overheating he is fine. He can even gape once in awhile, but if it is continual then I would bring him inside to cool down.

Thank you for your answer, I have him in the shade right now and am keeping an eye on him, he just loves being outside!
