Northerns Outdoors

Postby Scotts1au » Sat May 10, 2008 9:36 pm

Hi knowledgeable folks.

Just wondering whether Northerns would do OK outdoors in a Southern Aus summer? ie. bring inside to brumate?

Our summer is close to the temps of a Northern Aus winter but still quite warm. Average January daily temp is about 30C (85 F) but ranges to about 112F in the shade.

Any comments.

Thanks

Scott

u could put them out on hotter days mate,but the cool nights will seem freezing to them,even in summer,also the dryness over summer may be like the dry season for them so could make them think of brumating,i wouldnt keep them outside,nothing wrong with giving them some days out in the sun when weather permits though,but there not cold tolerent like an eastern
