Took some time today to erect a temporary outdoor enclosure for Princess Leia. We are currently in the process of getting approval to have our septic tank replaced. (Always fun trying to cram a $20k emergency project into a family budget!) So until the septic project is completed, she will be in this "temporary" outdoor enclosure. Large portions of our backyard will be effected by the project, so we needed something that could be moved. Once she has a permanent enclosure, we will be able to focus more on plants etc.
10 feet x 20 feet x 18 inches
Temps were as follows: (all in degrees fahrenheit)
Direct sun grass: 82
Feeding stone: 91
Large rock: 88
Shaded grass beneath plastic table: 68
Top of rubbermaid hide: 113
Interior of rubbermaid hide: 54
Top of Shell: 92
Armpit: 86
She avoided the inside of the hides. She checked each out, but I think they were just too cold. She did seem to like walking around them. She enjoyed the table as well.
As the day progressed, she got some shade.
Overall, she got to spend 3.5 hours outside in direct sun. She was mobile for 85% of the time. (Every now and again she stretched out completely and stayed put for a few minutes.)
A great day for the whole family.
Looking at that first picture I can see just how badly my house needs to be painted!! UGHHH
