Hello everyone this is my first post. I have a young sulcata (just shy of 4” 190g) and have both an indoor and outdoor enclosure setup for him. Is he too young to live outside “full time” when weather is permitting? I know this isn’t advised in most climates as it’s too dry, wanted to ask if Florida is humid enough this is not a concern.
The outdoor enclosure is an 8x4 with a latched lid and attached heated night box. He has never slept in the night box, i just built one for him as I needed one for my Aldabras and figured I may as well build 2.
As of now he’s been living inside and I’ve been taking him out for ~3-4ish hours per day when the weather is nice which has been everyday as of late. Work is about to prevent me from doing this most days, so I’ll have to decide if it’s in his best interest to be outside all day while I’m at work through the summer or inside all day most days. I’m setting up a mister system for his enclosure as well as for my Aldabras, not sure if this makes a difference but hoping to keep humidity high.
Attached is a picture of my sulcata, his name is Rocky.
Thanks in advance for any input!
