Many do live outside without difficulty.
Joe has a cold frame (wooden box with a perspex roof and a hole knocked in one side) located in the sunniest spot in the garden. He chooses to sleep in this and stays dry there. Because of the cold frame's position, it gets the sun's rays from early morning until afternoon and it gets pretty hot in there. He simply uses it charge up his batteries before motoring off to eat the garden.

He has one or two pet 'hotspots' in the garden where he'll go for a basking top-up throughout the day... and a few favoured shady locations for cooling off.

If he chooses to sleep under our red hot poker for the night, it'll be warm and dry!
