Hoping for some good advice. My Leopard babies are almost two years old now. Thinking of moving then outside to a pin permanently during the day in summer. Low temps at 20 degrees C and highs around 34. Maybe move them indoors at night. When are they old enough and immune system ok to handle this. Each has seperate indoor enclosure now but feels its time to expose then to outside weather. Please advice

Where are you? Please go into your user profile and add this info.

I move them outside full time with a heated night box when they are about 8".

My leopard moved outside full time around age 2/ or 8" in length.

He has always had an 80°F heated and humidified tort house available to him.
That way he can have the ideal temps available to him regardless of the weather outside.

outside temps look fine.

but I let my leopard outside when she was big enough for cats or birds live here.

Of course, I've never seen them attack my leopard but better safe than sorry.
