I've been trying to find a temperature range, but I can't find anything. Any ideas? What about humidity?

>>I've been trying to find a temperature range, but I can't find anything. Any ideas? What about humidity?

They experience temperatures are as high as 40C and as low as 9C. Temperatures during the Cold Season (December and January) often will not rise above 22C. Average temperatures samples for that area: Jan 13C-28C, Apr 18C-33C, Jul 22C-30C, Oct 20C-28C.

Rainy Season is from May to September with periods of transition in April and October. During the rainy season humidity is in the 75% to 85% range. During the drier seasons in the 55% to 65% range. (Humidity was not part of the study, but is what I have seen in that area). Keep in mind that this species is often found in triple canopy rainforest.

Information is from: Observations on Manouria impressa at Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary, Northeastern Thailand (Chan-ard et al. 1996)

Hope this was of help to you,
Michael

Sorry about the previous post. Do not know why I was thinking Manouria impressa.
