I live in Houston and our sulcata is just shy of 4 years old. He was newly moved outdoors this summer so this is our first winter with him outdoors. He has a Rubbermaid shed for heat with heat lamps and uvb when needed but we are in the middle of a short but unprecedented cold snap with lows expected in the single digits in the next few days. We’ve sealed off the entrance to his enclosure to help keep heat in but it’s not staying very warm. Directly under the basking lamp is still 100 F but the ambient temps around the lamp are currently between 50-65 F and much colder weather is expected so I’m working on a plan B.
Would it be better to keep him out there where he can at least bask under warm heat or bring him indoors where he won’t have a warm basking area but will have a much warmer ambient area of 72-ish? We are talking 5-6 days total, not a prolonged situation.
