Hi all,
I'm building an outdoor enclosure for my Greek tortoise. We live in Phoenix and it's pretty hot here already. At the moment, it's still dropping into the 70s at night and only hitting 100-105 during the day. What I'm wondering is, should I only put him in his outdoor enclosure in the morning and bring him back inside by noon so he's not out for the hottest part of the day? Or will he be ok outside the whole day if we shade part of his enclosure? I don't want him to overheat, but I wasn't sure if going from the heat outside to an air conditioned house would be too jarring.
Thanks for the advice!
