I live in connecticut and have redfoots and leopards in seperate enclosures indoors but they do share their outdoor enclosure. They are the same relative size. I originally set it up with one side more sand and dryer and the other more mulch and damp and had a divider. But as you say the temp and humidity is the same due to the weather. So I eventually took out the divider. Amazing they both seem to pick their side to settle down in but roam the entire enclosure. I only feed foods that both can eat in the outside but yet when I put stuff like melon in only the redfoots will eat it. If its a particulary humid day I leave the leopards indoors or if its very dry I hose down the redfoot side. I know many of the experts frown on this but seems to work out okay.
