looking into the viability of an outdoor enclosure for summer, I was wondering if our climate would have the neccessary uvb, also the humidity tends to get dry over the summer, at least in the afternoon. Also the wife was wondering if a greenhouse enclosure would be practicall. I can always keep a powersun bulb out there for uvb, or just leave an opening with an exposed basking spot. Any thoughts?

So a greenhouse would probably be perfect for humidity and temperature but the glass will filter out any UVB.
For UVB you need direct, unadulterated sunlight. What are your average daytime highs like in the summer? Anything less than 85 and sunny and I probably wouldn't leave him exposed to the elements.
