my sulcata has to stay at 80 degrees each night. But they are different breeds. But if to cold they can die quickly.

Please go into your user profile and add your location so we know where in the world you are.

Russians are fine with night temps in the 50s or 60s in a dry area with hot days the next day. If you live in a damp coastal area or the UK, then I wouldn't leave the tortoise outside at night without a warmer dry area to go to.
