Box turtle night temp

[Yurtle]

I moved my turtles into their outdoor pen earlier this afternoon( they're a native species), is it safe for them to stay out there at night? What tempature is too cold for them?

Mine have been out as low as mid 30's at night on a few occasions with no problems.

If you have areas they can dig in and hides they will be just fine in the low 40's

I will consider what is the night temperature indoor before move out. They can survive low temperature, but not immediately.
