The danger is only in not being able to control the temperature, and making the animal overheat. If you do not have this issue in the winter, it should not be a problem.

I've raised mine in one of those vision, plastic tanks. Longer than taller because the turtle does not need height. She's there in the winter. Has been for 5 years and there's no reason why she can't stay there for five more...

The only heat source there in the winter is a mat. She gets some rays from a light for a bearded dragon livin above. And she is fine. The sun she gets most of the year is plentiful to keep her healthy, obviously.

So it depends on where you live and how much heat the animal's room needs
