cold

Hi there, new to this forum. I’m home for winter break. Last winter, I talked at length to my dad about how sulcata tortoises can’t handle below 60 deg F. They are in Miami so the winters don’t get extreme, but it can get below 60. While we were out tonight, I realized my parents left their...

Hi guys, I have a (roughly) 2 year old Russian tortoise that currently lives inside in a large table I’ve built for him, he has coco coir for substrate, a basking area with a humid hide, shade and everything else he needs. But I’m just unsure if he should be inside? He’s only small currently...
