Safe Outside Temps

[Ray--Opo]

With cooler weather here in central Florida approaching I was wondering if I should keep Opo inside again or use a outside enclosure? Opo is 1.5 yrs old and was also wondering what are safe temps for Opo to stay outside for long periods of time and also for a quick grazing in the yard?

They should not live outside until 10 inches. He should be housed in a closed chamber with high humidity and controlled temps. So, get him inside for winter and set up a closed hot and humid closed chamber according to the caresheet and closed chamber thread.

Thanks I have everything from last winter. If it is in the 60's could Opo go outside for a 1/2 or more to graze.

No, a young one like yours should be in a controlled 80 degree closed chamber until the age of 2-3 years of age or 10 inches. Even an adult should have a warmer area then 60 to go into.

Thanks, I am glad for Opo it doesn't stay cold for long in Florida. I will have to pick the day's when it's over 80 to let Opo graze.
