    I'm thinking of moving my South American Wood Turtles outside. I live in Tallahassee, fl where it stay warm most of the year. In the winter it will get cold at night in the 30's, so I need to know how do I heat the enclosure at night doing these times of the year. I wasn't planning on having any heat lamp, just natural sunlight for the day hours.

    The Vet said these turtles can withstand cold temps but I would think lower 30's is going to be to low.

    I'm really new to this outside enclosure stuff so any advise would be nice.

    Thanks

    Bring it inside when cold.
    CHE's work well for heat.
