Thinking of putting tort in "Florida room" with lots of sun and a heater, but no AC. It gets pretty hot in the summer. Would tort be ok in there or can it get too hot for her?

Without knowing how hot it gets, my guess would be too hot, pretty much like a greenhouse effect unless its heavily shaded from trees.
Take a few temps from the room in the hottest part of the day in the area you would put the enclosure.

Where are you? What temperatures are we taking about? Would it cool at night?
