Meet Kifaru (means 'Rhino' in Swahili ), my new little baby male Meru Jackson's chameleon - who seems to take great enjoyment out of walking on the exo-terra viv mesh upside down! He's from Ally's babies (Thanks Ally!)
He ate a cricket within five minutes of being in his enclosure, but now just wants to hang upside down, rather frustratingly!
And the pic Ally sent me

Has Ally got any left? _________________ Regards, Paul.

You'd have to ask her yourself TBH
He's still up on the roof - hope he's happy in there, but I guess he is!
EDIT: Mcfluffin - you keep pymies - and these tolerate high temps about the same - so you shouldn't have a problem! _________________

It's the night-time temp drops I'm worried about  _________________

As long as it get's to about 19-20C you should be fine. Depends on how many reptiles you have in the same room though. He's in my bedroom and in summer, the window'll be open, which should cool the room right down. In winter it's okay.  _________________

Hmmm...not convinced it will stay at 19-20 during the summer months...more like 23-24 probably...not for long periods though? What's their setup like...less ventilation more humidity? _________________

Fair enough. In my house it can get quite cold at night Even in summer (especially with our summers lately!). Would be interested if Ally uses aircon in summer..?
And yes, pretty similar to the pygmies ventilation-wise  _________________
