1. If I get a hatchling, until what size/age can I safely keep it in a 3’x3’ enclosure?
2. If it goes outside every day for 3+ (here in Las Vegas we get about 290 of sun), do I need a uv light?
3. I have a 5’x10’ outdoor enclosure with shade, dappled shade, and full sun, I heard I can take them out for 1hour per inch. Is this correct?
4. At what size can they stay outside all night, if the enclosure is protected from predators and it stays over 70’ at night? 80’ at night?
I am looking for answers and I love this forum but lately I have been getting answers like “that’s not big enough...” but nothing to go off, if it isn’t big enough then what is? I’m looking for advice and to be pointed in the right direction. That is why I haven’t gotten a tort yet...lol...I want it all set up and running and paradise before they get here!
