4 temperature!!

[EwokLudmilla]

Hi Everyone, it's me again!
I had another quick question:
What are the 4 temperatures and when do they need to be switched from one to another?
My tortoise is a 11 month old Hermann's tortoise and I've got a 52 inch tortoise table.
Thank you!!

You need a big enough habitat so that you can have a warm side and a room temperature side. The temperature directly under the light should be around 100F. The warm side should be in the 80's and the room temperature side should be, well, room temperature. I don't know what you mean by "when do they need to be switched from one to another?"

Sorry about the confusion about the 'switched from one temperature to the other'... My mistake.
What do you mean by night lights?

Night "temps".

1. Warm side.
2. Cool side.
3. Basking area.
4. Overnight low.

These are the four main temperatures to check, continuously monitor, and adjust if needed.

What if they aren't low enough?

Raise your lights.

What is your temperature at night. With no lights ... example basking UVB. Are you using Che or room temp ?
