I live in Florida. My Russian tortoise has an indoor enclosure, with heat lamp and UV lamp, and is doing very well. We just recently had a pool put in; it's in a screen enclosure with lots of extra room. I've been wanting to build an outdoor enclosure for my tortoise (for daytime) and there's plenty of room off to one side inside the screen, well away from the pool itself. My question: Will he get enough natural sunlight, and the proper UV, with the screened enclosure overhead? I like the idea of building it inside the screen, for safety's sake, but I'm wondering if the benefits for him will be enough.
