Default Outdoor pen advice, please may i have!

hay people, i did have a PM of this, but it got wiped during a drunken click of the mouse.

Anyhoo, im the summer when its warmer, i want too put my tort outside. Bout time he got used to the real world, and as my dad is now a retired, he can spend his last days babysitting my pets.

now i thinking about getting somthing thats mainly cage, so he can roam around, but have a sort of, indoor bit, if that makes sense. But as i always have a heat lamp on inside, i was wondering if id need one outside, obviously the UV light is free!

If i could see some outdoor set ups, or have a lil advice on this, id be very greatful. thanks in advance, dimshade.

I'm using a ceramic heater for the indoor kennel. I'm doing this so it can be used 24/7.

Theres no extra heating outside. Just the heated kennel.

Thought I would add a couple of photos of my enclosures for you.

This is my temporary Leopard enclosure


And this is the Hermanns when it was being built...
The two Hermanns are in there to show the size of the enclosure...




Finished, though what is inside has changed over the last few years.
