Outdoor enclosure??? 
I haven’t ever seen this mentioned, and am just curious..... would Uromastyx’s benefit from getting natural UVB at times by being placed in an outdoor enclosure at times??....I acquired my Uromastyx in late summer of last year, and obviously at that time, I was most concerned with making sure he acclimated/adjusted to his new home/enclosure....(and no worries....my Uro does currently have an indoor enclosure with multiple hides, MVB, and halogen basking spots. He eats, and poops daily and has been to the vet and according to him, he is "healthy".) Basically, with spring break coming up..... I’m just trying to think ahead, so if needed I can start on building an outdoor area for him during that time, to use during the summer months occassionally...... (the main reason I am asking, is because I know during the summer months, at times, I take my Bearded Dragons out of their indoor enclosures and place them in an outdoor enclosure, while my family and I are on the patio or deck and whatever in the backyard...(thier outdoor enclosure is actually MUCH larger than their indoor one (which is 4x2x2) and it has basking rocks, shade areas, and hides.).....my Beardies LOVE being outside for a few hours when possible, and I was basically just wondering if an outdoor enclosure is something that would also benefit my Uro as well.???...Anyways, just curious, and figured I would ask.
Thanks

If you can make it safe from predator’s,escape,etc.. then yes , an outdoor enclosure would be an excellent idea. The natural sun is simply the best. Just make sure they have an area to get away from it if they want to.
When I had beardies I built a portable enclosure with a plywood bottom and chicken wire everywhere else. A third of it was covered inside so they could escape the sun and get into a cool area if they wanted to. It had lots of branches and perches in there. They loved it !! And would readily bask in full sunlight for hours on end.
I would just put them in it and carry the whole thing outside for a few hours, a few days a week. UVB doesn’t get any better then that.
Just make sure there safe .
