Okay so I know basically the responses I'm going to get here, but before you say anything, I live in south Florida, its humid and 90 everyday. We have a 7ft high brand new wood fence around the property that you can't access from anywhere but inside the house. The back patio is screened in and on top of that has about 2 feet of mesh chicken wire at the bottom that wraps all the way around the inside (we used to let cats out there but they ripped the bottom of the screen to escape, chicken wire fixed the problem.) BP's tank is securely locked.

The reason I want to do this is because we keep our house *cold*. And I feel like her natural environment's climate is exactly the same (if you've never been here, its ***humid***)


So tell me why this is a bad idea, or what you think. This is kind of a common thing to do here for reptile owners.
