 A bit sunshine

I took Horus a bit outside today(nice and sunny)and he looked so funny on the wooden table(he is used to sand only)but he liked the sun a lot I could see
when I open his terra,or come only in the room,he runs to the side where I open his slidedoor and jumps at me to be taken out,is this reconisble for other aegyptica owners?he also recognizes my cat he is so funny

How hot is it where you live? I know that I could never take mine out, even in the summer, he would freeze up in about 5 minutes probably and its quite hot here.

I had an Egyptian a awhile back. I moved into an apartment and had to give him away : (
Anyhow, I had built a cage I could take him outside in. It was about the size of a 30 gallon with a plywood bottom and plastic mesh around the rest . I also had one end with a shelter he could go in if it got too hot for him. He LOVED IT !!!! i would take him out once or twice a week and he would sit up on the basking rock I had in there like he was the king of the world !!! I would be scared to death to not have him in an enclosure while outdoors , there alot faster then you may think. Cats are pretty fast too !! And could swoop in and grab him before you could even react.
I think a few hours of natural sunlight is great for them as long as you take the proper precautions.
