Given the recent nice weather here in the UK, Shirley has been spending most of her time in her outside enclosure, including a few nights where temperatures have not been forecast to drop too much.
It seems to get on her nerves a bit to keep moving her between her outdoor and indoor enclosures, so ideally she will stay outside all summer, but I need to know a) what kind of night temperatures she can cope with and b) if she is old enough to spend nights outside.
She has a cold frame outside which was intended to stay a bit warmer overnight (and it does), but she seems to prefer to spend her nights inside her chiminea (probably because she feels the Perspex roof leaves her a bit exposed).
