I'm introducing my 1 year old ackie to actual sunlight for the first time. I'm off work today, so I could constantly watch him. He seemed to be into it, basking for an hour or two and then digging a hole and going in for the evening. It was 88 today and is 78 tonight. In the next two days it's looking to cool down a bit. I still have his old cage open and am considering rotating him in and out as temperature dictates on a day to day basis. Is it worth the benefit of natural sunlight to keep moving him around like that? It would provide some change and stimulus, so I'm probably gonna give it a whirl through August.
