    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So I've been curious about keeping a group of Red Ackie monitor outside. I live near Palm Springs California. (La Quinta) and it seems like the weather is quite similar? I'm struggling to find more in depth info on the areas they live so I could look at some weather data. Most care sheets say they can't handle the cold, our winters can get kind cold. December - February. mid 40's to 50s at night on average But that normally doesn't last that long. I just looking into the idea, I would love some insight and feedback on this.
 
I can't see the thread because of ADS. But I'm in AZ and I keep all African and Australian monitors outside. However I provide heat boxes and tarp the cages at night. You can do multiple heating setups. It's really simple. Make sure they have 110 basking in winter and at night the ambient temp of cage is greater then 70 or the heat box the temperature of monitor with temp gun is 70 plus
