i don't think it is hot enough all the time in ontario to keep a bd outside constantly. temp ranges according to the weather network site say the average high is about 80 and averge low is about 60. on really hot days it shouldn't a problem

Could you keep beardeds outside in North Idaho? The temps are between 70 degrees (not often during summer) to around 100 degrees. Thanks.

The only other worry I'd have would be lightning bugs, which are deadly to BDs. Does Ontario or N. Dakota have them?

We do not get lightning bugs where I live. Bye.
