TEMPERTURE???????!!!!!!!!

Hi, I was wondering how cool can your chameleon cage get.

 

[Decadancin]

Do you mean at night? Depends on the type, but many can go into the 40's or 50's at night as long as they can bask and warm up the next morning. I personally would not want 40's for more than a week or so at a time for my chameleons, but as long as they are healthy it should not be an issue. What type are we talking about?

 

[Daniel.piacquadio]

Is 67 ok

Panther or vieled

67 should be good at night as a drop off temp. You don't need more extremes to provide what they need.

There's lots of peeps on here with some really cool cages.

But yea, what @Decadancin said.

There are more than 150 types of chameleons species with an extremely wide range of care including temps.
If you would like the correct info post what kind you have.

I have panthers. I let them drop below 70 about 5 months a year.

in around 70 for the rest they thermoregulate. So they can drop pretty low. Sure you'll get much more advice. not too sure on veiled though

 

[Craigwyatt]

I drop my panthers into the 60s during the night in the winter months. Warmer months they drop in the 70s at night.
Day time temps hot spot around 90ish cool spots are in the 70s. That's year round.

Veiled's can easily drop into the 50's

I was watching video made by lllreptiles and they said to have a night light are they just trying to make a buck

Night lights are not good for them to have as they have a "third eye" that can detect the light, they set their internal clocks and hormones levels and such by they day/night schedule. I know there are several places that suggest having the heat light at night but if you look into where they are from and what a temperature drop at night does for them, the are really better off having a drop in temps at night. And I can pretty much guarantee if you have them in your house it will never get too cold for them. If you can sleep comfortably then it's not too cold for them.

Yep! no night light needed, in fact I would highly recommend not using any light period it disturbs them, and can cause great stress. Now if your temps did go below the 50's could recommend using a infrared ceramic heat admitter that way there is no light.

You mean no light at night period, but during the day having the basking spot and UVB, correct? I'm just clarifying.
