Temps in this area (NW OK) are getting in the triple digits. Now that I have an outside enclosure for my Russian, how do I acclimate him to the change? His in door area runs between 75 at night and 90 day. He is just getting over an infection from too cold morning dew and still getting a daily soak. I am new at this whole amphibian thing and really care for this animated creature of the ages - help!

Is there a shadey area? Russians tend to dig hole to cool down so as long as he can get into shade he should be fine.

Yes, he prefers to dig under a coleus plant when it warms up.
Thanks!

We have rain and a cool down in the forecast. If he is not used to being outdoors, should he stay in?
