Hey kensopher
Yes, the turtle is outdoors but under roof; it does not receive direct sunlight. I live in Miami, that is why I though it would be better to keep the turtles outside. You are right about the daylenght but the temperature is constant here (70-80 now). It is rarely under 65 (winter). When the temperature is under 65 I take them inside the house. I am going to take a pic of him tonight I will post it tomorrow. Thanks for your help!
