We're almost neighbors!
If you can, build him an outdoor enclosure. The weather around here is fine for them year round. Except for the occasional freezes, my guys stay outside permanently with the help of a heat light in winter.

For mild nights, I use cheapo Black bulbs from WalMart. Once it gets down in Temp, I use the ZooMed (or whatevers availbale) 100 watt inside a Dogloo. I think they have a 120/150 too.
