Abstract:	1. Field body temperatures (T_b's) of Chamaeleo chamaeleon in southwestern Spain averaged 28 °C in October and 30 °C in June. Slopes of regressions of T_b on T_a (ambient temperature at perch height) indicated that individuals were able to maintain a preferred body temperature of about 30 °C in June but not in October.

Keywords:	Chamaeleo chamaeleon Chamaeleonidae Field body temperature Selected body temperature Thermal biology Thermoregulation
