I live in southern caliornia,and I own a pair of jacksons can they be kept outside year round? If they can what kind of care would they require?

If climate allows, jacksons chameleons should always be kept outside. If you live on the Southern California coast, you may keep them outside year round. My Seal Beach colony thrives outside. However, if you live inland, say the Riverside area, the weather is too extreme, and you need to be more careful. Basically, they can comfortably handle a temperature range between 45 and 85 degrees (and even push those lows a little lower). They appreciate an overnight temperature drop, and there's a thriving population of jacksonii living free in the Palos Verdes area of So Cal. It's a climate almost as perfect as Hawaii for jacksons.

Thanks for the info spiddy.I actualy live near seal beach so the info will help.I have heard about jackson's living in P.V but ,I have never talked to anyone who's seen them up there.
thanks kblue
