Could Cynops orientalis be kept outside in a cold frame style enclosure or would a green house be more suitable ?

bri, i have a colony of cynops outside and they are doing very well. they haven,t bred yet but they were too small this spring. they survived the winter well, with no intervention from me,so they seem fairly hardy. i looked on a map of their natural distribution and some areas experience much colder winters than us, although it remains to be seen if our summers are warm and long enough for reproduction to occur.

Interesting as i often thought of trying some outside, have you any pics of your set-up? do you provide hibernaculum?

Hopefully I should have my coldframes up and running by the end of the week so will have a go at moving them outside.
