if you have a safe predator proof enclosure then it is excellent for slider to spend all or part of some or everyday outdoors providing the air remains above about 65 degrees F.
but don't underestimate locals dogs, cats, children, raccoons all of which take more turtles then you can imagine.
a fence around your yard does not make you safe.

No probleme with the enclosure, my turtle is very big, cats and dogs are affraid from her! 
she's outside since june but the nights are more cold now so i was wondering what was the lowest temperature she can take.
I just put an heater in the tank so it won't drop under 65 degrees!
thx
