This will undoubtedly lead to health problems such as upper respiratory problems and other stress-related infections. Most chameleon species require temperatures ranging from 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. In general, chameleons enjoy daily temperature fluctuations. A species that might need daytime temperatures around 85 would not be comfortable with that temperature at night. If indoor lighting is used as a source of warmth for your chameleon, use an appliance timer to simulate the daily fluctuations.
Seasonal fluctuation is also important.
Chameleon enthusiasts should carefully research a species' habitat requirements and make attempts to duplicate factors present in the animals natural environment. When chameleons are outside enjoying the sunshine, pay particular attention to their water-needs. When a chameleon is in the sun for long periods, the animal will frequently require hydration. Many species will turn abnormally white or yellow when dehydrated. Immediately mist the animals in a rain-like fashion so they can cool down and rehydrate.
