Hi Sudanese Sulcata. It seems you are really fixated on the fact that the climate in Florida will protect your baby sulcata. I would recommend checking out Camp Kenan on youtube for baby sulcata videos. He is a Florida native who runs a reptile sanctuary.
In this one he explains that he keeps his babies in a hardy rubbermaid stock tub that he is able to bring them outside for SOME natural sunlight.
However, as they are babies, he keeps them indoors, even in Florida! Another reason for this is Florida is a very wet place, and even in the warm summer their outdoor enclosures can become too wet and muddy, which causes problems for the health of this arid native tort.
Once they are older, of course they can spend most of their days outdoors, but Kenan has a sulcata shed to protect them from the winter elements in Florida, equipped with a heater.
You as a Florida native could probably even try to schedule a tour of Kenan's sanctuary and maybe get some first hand advice from him. If the Florida climate is your biggest deterrent, and you feel those of us on here don't know because we don't live there, then Camp Kenan's advice should be irrefutable.
