Hello ...
I live in Virginia, and have a baby sulcata. He (or she, I don't know the gender exactly) is doing ok, is alert, moves surprisingly quickly. I had a question regarding winter and exposure to sunlight and read a few posts. Some posts suggest immersing in warm water and then keeping them in a non-windy place where the sunlight is falling. Some other posts suggest a rubber mat exposed to sunlight and non-windy place.
I have UV bulbs and stuff but would prefer exposing to direct sunlight for a short while. My question is --- the days now are cold --- 45 to 50 degree days. Even if they are immersed in warm water or placed on warm rubber mats or whatever, they still will be breathing cold air right? Will that affect them and cause any respiratory disease or something?
Is there any way to do a brief 15-20 minute exposure to direct sunlight in winter (in Virginia) or is it better to wait for the summer?
Thanks to you all in advance ....
