Can I put my skink tank outside temporarily?

Sometime soon my apartment will be treated for roaches and I don't think it'll be safe for my skink inside. I'd take him to a friends house temporarily but I just got him a week ago and don't wanna stress him even more as he's getting used to his surroundings. I don't wanna sound like an irresponsible owner, but would he be ok if I put his tank outside on our screened in patio temporarily? It doesn't get sun all day so he wouldn't be getting blasted by light. I don't know if this is a really stupid idea but I honestly don't have another solution. If anyone else has an idea or advice I'm way open for suggestions! Thanks!

I would say as long as there is no chance of the fumes reaching your skink when they spray and also along as your skink isn't in direct sunlight (get to hot) then your patio should be fine.

I would be apprehensive if this is a glass enclosure but otherwise would be fine with it personally

Hi,
Yes you can do this. There is no issue in it but you should also take care of it because there are some exceptions that some things can also hurt badly and it will be very painful for you
