In Jacksonville we occasionally dip down to 18-22 degrees. I heard my redfoots and elongated into the covered structure in the picture anytime the night low is below 55 degrees. The Door has 3 bolts and wingnuts to secure it. I have 3 heat sources from above. A 250 infra-red in the center and two 150 watt Ceramic heat bulbs on either side.
