Hi Gianluca

unfortunately fuelleborni is a species that isn't owned by a lot of persons. We owned a female for over one year. Our experience told us that this animals require daily temperatures between 21-26°C, at night they should drop to 5-10°. Thes animals love a bright light, such as HQI, you should even keep them outside most of the time. Wer do you live exactly in Italy?
Fuelleborni should be kept like werneri, hoehnelli and perhaps rudis/sternfeldi (this last species is nevertheless more tolerant then fuelleborni)

Great !!!An italian..

[franklin]

thank you very much for information....on-line there is very few info...
I live near Florence.
probably newt week I will take a pair or fuelleborni.
my fear is for summer temperatures....10° are very few....but the similar temperatures are required for hoehnelii,and for my friend expirience,whit very high umidity,they tollerate whitout problem higher temperature for short time (18-22 night,27-33 day).what do you think?
sorry for my bad enlish.

The summer in italia is not for a few time, and your temperature are higher than 33° NO?

For me, it's too dangerous, unless you have a "climatiseur" (i don't know how to say it in english and in italian).

Ciao, conosco castel fiorentino, alle 20 km da FIRENZE, es una bella cita come FIRENZE.
Penso che tu deverlo avere un altro camelepn che lo fuelborni, PARDALIS for esempio. Lo parda ama le temperature nelle 33-35° nel estate, ora tu poi essere lo calyptratus che ama le grosse temperature nel estate.

Ciaociao della francia.

Escusa me per il mio italiano, ma non avo la possibilita de parlare ora scrivere spesso.

i am agree with you when you say "if the temperature is too much high, much humidity is a solution". But in any way you have to stay in a good level of temperature. Much more than 30°C is difficult for be part of trioceros.

in summer in italy the temperature is more high of 33 outiside...but I have a cold room,where in summer temperature don't are over 30....generaly 25-28,but in a few day,where outisde there is very high temperature(35-40)the room temperatur can go on 27-28°....
P.S.this isn't my first chamaleon ,in this moment I have pardalis(nosy be),bradypodion fischeri multitubercolatum,trioceros deremensis....in past I had calyptratus,brevicaudatus,globifer(but whit this i had very bad experience,they was dead very fast,I think they was wc )

Beware of too long periods of temperatures over 25° with these animals.
I'm not able to tell you how you may keep fuelleborni, but we are breeding trioceros werneri since a couple of years, and I think that this species is very similar to fuelleborni. We keep our animals outside day and night from this moment on where temperatures don't drop anymore under 5° at night and 15° at day. They seem to do very well with longer periods of rough, humid weather with a lack of sunshine.

Two years ago, we had a relative hot summer (no comparison to Italy ) : temperatures outside between 25 and 35°at day and about 20-22° at night. The animals were well off the whole time of these high temperatures, but slowed down and died very quickly a month later, when these temperatures were replaced by our usual 15-20° at day. So at my opinion, these cameleons are very hard to keep in regions with hot summers. They do best and breed with temperatures about 15-22°.
