Which is more beneficial???

Option one::
Outdoors, 83 degrees, overcast, lots to look at
Or...
Option two::
Inside, basking 88 degrees, bright, same old screen cage

Just curious which is better for them, getting outside in temps a bit under usual basking temps or inside under a warmer lamp.... Thanks

Well outdoor is always better.....
But is this for all of the time and who are you housing out there?

Careful, once they get a taste of outdoors, they will want to go outside all the time.

It's just my day off so I try to let my guys have some outside time. It's a panther and a veiled and they go in separate outside enclosures, one is 2'x2'x6' the other is 3'x2'x4'.....
I guess I was just wondering if getting outside, even though it's overcast and not quite as warm as they are used to, is still better than keeping them in where they can be under a basking light at a normal basking temp...
Thanks, lisa
