Default Med's outside

Anyone's med tort's still outside during the day . The herman's are, they have thermostated heat in hut, about 75% active. Put them in the heated shed for night time this week, as night temps are a dropping, like to try and stretch outside as long as pos, half the enclosure is covered with glass now, catching the odd sun breaking through.

I brought mine indoors tonite and probably thats them in now. Over the past few weeks they didn't leave the heated coldframe a great deal except when we had a bit of sun. Nite time temps are going down now and I don't want them to stop eating yet so I brought them in. If we had a really nice day at the weekekdn I would put them out but not much hope of that!

My hermanns and ibera are still out and about...eating but not as much...silly ibera get stuck if it rains and chills down, always have to check they are in. The hermanns are going in at night still to their house...all bar one who has disappeared for the winter and one who has swapped to the cold frame and will soon disappear.
