>>If you notice in that picture I did 2 patio umbrellas--it just get so darn hot mid summer (dry heat of 117)...I feel so bad. I'm able to maintain the temps with patio umbrellas and sprinkler systems during the summer time. Now I only have 1 umbrella up, I took the rest down so the sun can shine shine shine!! Before it gets too cold.



Yeah it's hard to combat that heat! We usually get temps over 100 in summer but more like 105, not as high as 117 however- that has happened before- it's been as hot as 118 at our house before.

Our tortoise then sits in areas where we don't really want her to sit so my hope is if her main home is cooler then she'll stay in it instead of in the way.

For now like you we need that sun to shine shine shine!
