I had Luna out in 66f degrees yesterday. 79f is fine. Make sure he has a cool place to retreat to and a branch to bask on. if he is in a reptarium remember that black absorbs heat so make sure he does not become overheated. I place a wet towel over the corner of her outdoor cage for cool shelter. If there is a strong breeze the temps will be lower so check on him regularly.

Whatever you do, do not turn your back on him for even a second when he is not confined. Sad stories of chams taking off and grabbed by birds - so not even for a second.

Have fun!

hey, how can it be 79f in Ontario and only 68f here???
