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
