Still some work to do until she can stay outside full time, but we're slowly getting there.
Sulcata will be two years old later this summer. We're living in central europe, so providing enough heat is my main concern. Outdoor enclosure is app. 15 x 3.5'. The coldframe is made of UV transmissive acrylic and holds heat well. The enclosure is on the south-east facing wall of our house and protected from rain and bad weather by our roof. I put a heat cable through the holes of a brick of her house and put it on a thermostat to heat it for the night. For cloudy/rainy days I have a halogen construction light (water proof for outdoor use) inside the coldframe, on a dimming thermostat. Open to constructive criticism and other ideas I may not have thought of. Thanks!
