Ok thanks..yes i know..i use a gun thermomether..on bark on hottest hours temperature may go to 45-50 deegres but he has a lot of shade point with temperature aligned to air temp. And when i watering the temperature decrees.in his house temperature is 2- 3-4 deegres less to air in sun hours.
Ok thank you Alex.
But here we have 23-25 deegress at 9-10 o'clock a.m. from 10:30/11 we have optimal range between 27/32°C to 23-24 o'clock p.m.
However, until the minimum is around 24, I think from next week, I will bring him back home in the evening.
I also think it's illogical to force an animal to always live at the same temperature, whether it's 28 or 29 degrees. I don't know where you live, but nature isn't like that. I keep him indoors for nine months of the year, and the other guys know it, in optimal conditions. If I keep him outdoors...
That's what I'm doing, but he always comes back to the house shortly afterward.
Isn't taking him in and out of the house at night and morning stressful for him? If not, I can do it without hesitation.
At the moment i don't have electricity in the garden near his space.
Air humidity in my area is between 45 to 65% BUT in his area i watering evening, morning and 1 time with sprinkler at 12 o'clock a.m.
In North italy is not possibile to have 28 deegres at night..only one or two days a year..in past years when i had only a balcony with and outside enclosure he...
