Yeah it gets to be about 29 degrees at the lowest here. I have another enclosure inside so that I can bring them in when it is THAT cold, but the garage is also insulated with heat and ac.
Indoor. They are still small, but I live in a cold dry enviroment. So I repurposed my garage into a tortoise enclosure. I’m going to tent it with a green house setup, but I don’t know what to use inside of it for the walls
