Anyone want to list the pros and cons of an outdoor enclosure? FL will be a lovely place for Zephyr. I couldnt build 2 full size enclosures one outdoor one indoors, but I dont know where hed spend more time. Besdies tempature control (keeping it cool enough and warm enough) i know he would come inside on cool, rainy, or other inappropriate days. but also would he become more "wild" as nopw he is used to humans walking around, talking, etc. outside he would have the basically same things to stare at all day and a few humans. My dad really wants him to live outside (for Zephs benefit, not "ew i dont want it int he house" )but i would like a large enclosure in my room.
also what about wild ticks, fleas, bugs, etc. it would also be a shame if my neighbors used pesticides. =/ i would rather have a rainforesty enclosure for him in my room and an hour or so a day of outside time to roam and bask and climb and eat flowers and get good light, but i dunno..
what is better for him? (florida)
