I am curious what people think would be the safe minimum and maximum outside temperatures that would allow me to keep young (under a year old) Burmese stars outside. The outside enclosure I would have them in during the day would have secure hides, small bushes, trees, and be protected from any predators. I would just like to have them outside as much as possible to take advantage of the Arizona sun. I would eventually heat a hide when they are old enough to live outside permanently, but for now I would just like to be able to put them out there when it is naturally in the right temperature range.
I am hoping that someone with experience keeping them outside can tell me at what outside temperature it is generally too hot for them in these conditions, and at what temperature it is too cold. Of course I would varify that the temperatures in various locations around the pen are appropriate first, but I am hoping that someone can give me ballpark temperatures ahead of time so that I have an idea of how many hours of the day are acceptable at different times of the year, and plan accordingly.
