you need a house big enough to take a combined bulb or white light heat bulb for a tort to stay out for longer than just the summer months and the house you're looking at isn't big enough for that. Warmth by itself won't wake them as they need the light as well hence using the sun to warm themselves, if owners want their torts to be outside 24/7 then they mostly have a greenhouse or shed with combined or similar suspended bulbs and outside access. The little house you are thinking about will be fine as a summer shelter but thats all, if you don't have a shed or gh that be can used then you'll need a table inside the house, if you just leave your tort outside odds are it will hibernate in september and sleep to april or so which is far to long.
