Panther night time lows outdoor cage

[BryanP]

So I'm needing to redo my enclosure from a 2x4x4 to a 2x2x4 and it has taken longer than I wanted.

I have the panther, 1 year old, outside in a 18x18x24 hanging butterfly cage.

Tonight the temps are supposed to to drop to the low 50s.

Will this be an issue? Should I go bring the cage inside and risk waking him up in the move? Its away from predators so I'm not concerned about that just the 1 night low temp. Humidity is in the teens here in California right now.

avoid any temperatures below 55°F due to risk of causing digestive issues and other illnesses. Yes he can survive the night but why risk it. I'd bring him in.

I check my govee outdoor thermometer for the last week and the lows were down to 45 so I brought him in.

Thanks!

FWIW, in a situation like this, I'd first ask what locale your cham is from, then check climatological data from that locale. For example, Ambilobe. From https://weatherspark.com/y/104776/Average-Weather-in-Ambilobe-Madagascar-Year-Round

Nighttime temps in the early morning dropped into the mid-50sF, but only for a couple hours.
