I am intrested to see how this question will be answered, i live in central florida as well and i've consitered the same thing. (i am over in the melbourne/cocoa area) Hell if anything it might get TOO hot for some species, a noon-2pm the direct sunlight can get into the high 90's. I think a important aspect is to place the cage were there is only direct sunlight on part of the cage, so they can thermoregulate, so half shade half sun.
