This is pretty much what I got from Nick's post. Also, that it is possible to condition them to tolerate lower temperatures, but that it a gradual process & not for the inexperienced.
Taking them from a completely regulated habitat to outside with so many fluctuations in temperature is likely the cause of death.
While they can tolerate lower temperatures, that doesn't mean they can live in lower temperatures consistently; it means that a day or two won't kill them, but two and a half weeks may.
