What climate and temperatures do chameleons prefer?

Chameleons typically prefer warm, tropical climates with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 90°F (21°C to 32°C) during the day. They thrive in environments with high humidity, often found in rainforests, where they can regulate their body temperature through basking and seeking shade. Nighttime temperatures can drop to around 60°F to 70°F (15°C to 21°C), depending on the species and habitat.
