Re: Holiday enclosure
Thanks for the advice he has a fairly big travel enclosure which will be inside a caravan when we are out and outside on the veranda when we are in.
so I'm I right in thinking that we don't necessarily need a light or heat source for the couple of weeks we are away.

Re: Preparation for winter
Thank you for the advice
Dynamite isn't quite 1 years old yet would it be safe for him to hibernate this winter.
