Yes, they seem to like the light and some warmth in the winter even when they are resting. And your covered porch sounds good. Our garage is dark except for the very front and that was saved for the very sun-needy. Thankful I have the greenhouse now. I just hope I can get everything back in this winter. Not only have I acquired a new plant or 10, but my others have grown and doubled in size! But the Bolivian Jew gets seniority rights and will have a safe place for sure.
