Hi just built my new outdoor enclosure apart from now adding the warm houses and basking area. I was going to build a wooden enclosure within the outdoor area and use a basking light as I have in the indoor setup but wondered about keeping it waterproof ?? Could you use a large Perspex box and mount the light above (to get right temp) and the seal the entry point to stop any water?? Any help with heating tips for outdoor enclosures appreciated , I don’t have an adjoining shed or greenhouse.

Hi Matthew, I recommend connecting with norfolk tortoise club. Www.tortoiseclub.org for rehoming and advice. :)
