As for letting the chameleons get rained on...that is perfectly fine in most cases. I have my chameleons out all summer long day and night and they go through thunderstorms, sunshine, heat and cold within reason, etc. They are on automatic misters which go off for about 15 minutes many times a day. I recommend putting the chameleon on some type of automatic misters if you plan to house them outside for any real length of time, as this will help keep their considerable hydration requirements met, and protect them from over-heating in some cases. The natural sunshine is wonderful for your chameleons and with the auto misters it places much less demand on the keeper as far as maintenance goes, and also does a lot to keep health problems from forming. Doing some more research will probably be necessary before you do it as I don't know the area you live in or the species you are suggesting for outdoor maintenance. Others on this forum keep chameleons outdoors so you maybe some of them will add their input as well--its a great idea for the long-term health of your animals.
