Climate With different chameleons, different climates need to be simulated. A Four-Horned Chameleon (Chamaeleo quadricornis), which lives in very humid areas of Cameroon, needs to be in cool temperatures from 30°F to 75°F, with 75% to 100% humidity, while a Veiled Chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus), which are found in arid regions of Yemenas well as tropical forests, can stand temperatures that reach 100°F., but with high humidity as well. If a chameleon is placed in areas with too high temperature, it will soon become dehydrated and blanched. A chameleon also needs to be able to regulate it's body temperature. A good method for this is to place an incandescent light over one portion of the cage. This enables the chameleon to move to that part of the cage to bask, as well as being able to move away from it so it can cool down. Some species, however, will bask all day if they are given the opportunity. The humidity of the environment is also essential to a chameleons health. Lack of humidity will quickly dehydrate those chameleons that live in high-humidity environments. An excellent way to provide the proper humidity is to purchase a humidifier. When we first
