Hi all
I thought best to do a separate post to my last as it's a whole new large enclosure we're planning.
Since we had them as babies, they've mainly been indoors and over the last few summers in their outdoor enclosure one at a time as one is aggressive to the other.
We are now planning on having them outdoors all year round.
The plan is a polycarbonate greenhouse butted up to their existing outdoor space that is covered all around and on top with mesh to stop predators. The greenhouse would have doors leading to that and both the greenhouse and outdoor bit would have a divider to keep them apart.
I'm thinking to have a small, mini, shed within the greenhouse filled with soil for them to cool down and maybe use to hibernate in. One on each side to keep them separate.
Questions would be
1) can the existing soil and grass act as the base for this lightweight greenhouse?
2) heating for the greenhouse needed?
3) insulation for that mini shed to keep it cooler/warmer depending on outside temp?
4) any other advice welcome.
Thanks, Marc
