Sunning outdoors everyday had become dangerous in my yard lately.

I always just packed everyone up each morning from their tanks, put them in tweaked sunning containers and put them in an area of yard/ shade/sun for the day. I did check on them from time to time, always worried if they were too hot or whatever if I had to leave the house for awhile. Then one day I went out with the dogs, and they tore after a LARGE hawk that was sitting near my containers admiring my lizards with a HUNGRY look. One look at the dogs and he flew up and glided gracefully out of my yard, only to sneak back about 1/2 hour later.

So we bought 2 extra large Dog kennels put them side by side, and I pack all the containers in each morning (weather permitting) and lock the doors and am at peace while they are out now. :0) The babys have been going out since they were 4 days old

Eve, thats a great way to keep the birds and cats out. Giving your lizards natural sun is the best thing you can do for them and it really brings out their colors.

Thanks Will, yep, I agree about getting them out when ya can.
