lots of outdoors pics here
http://forums.shelledwarriors.co.uk/...pic.php?t=5307 yes your tort could be outdoors 24/7 from about may to ealrly autumn you need to be aware of the frosts most people use indoor tables early in the season and late in the season when uk weather is rather chilly but once the prospects of frost are gone torts can live outdoors full time you may need a little house of some sort like a small dog kennel or a coldframe have a good look at the pics then come back to ask also use the search button to give you ideas |

do hermans need heating on a night time even if they are in a dog kennel type house? if they have a coldframe i know this will get nice and warm through the day but what about an evening

if the housing you are using keeps temps of 10c or above over night it will be fine
insulation helps |
