Hiya guys!
I'm looking to give my boy (20yr old male sulcata) more of an outdoor habitat. I've only just been given control over him as he was a family pet that nobody seemed to really take care of 😡 so I'm trying to do it myself.
I've been looking at those wooden boxes that have insulated walls and a heat lamp but will that be okay all year round or do I still need to bring him in for the cold months?
He's never really been an outside tort before so I'm super nervous and plan on doing it gradually over time. We're in the UK so weather isn't great most of the year but will he be alright in 10-15 degree temperatures inside an insulated wooden box? It's got a lockable ramp door so I can shut him in if it gets too cold.
Any opinions or suggestions will be super helpful as I'm only 18 and my family have just sort of dumped him on me. He didn't have a great start in life so he's a bit small and he does have a bone disease but he gets around fine for now, we make regular trips to the vet and I've got money set aside for bills when they're needed.
Thanks!
