I made a new tort enclosure that's 6ft by 4ft and insulated the whole thing. I put it in the backyard and started monitoring the temp inside. It reaches up to 110 and higher when the top is closed. How do the rest of you guys keep the outside enclosures cooler?

It's kinda both. I made a door for bogart for when he gets older but right now I'm using it as a closure chamber enclosure.
