Well that’s no fun!
Ugh not here - still in the high 70s at night. Tomorrow is supposed to be upper 90s here, but by Saturday its going to drop into the 50s at night. Poor reptiles, I don't know how they handle all this boomeranging.
I have had so many Russian tortoises act like I have dropped them into a vat of acid when I soak them. Some of them persisted at this for over a month. All of them eventually got used to it and learned to not care about it at all in time.
Me too. It’s a problem with them and they are one of the top three for bladder stones. That’s why I soak them anyway, in spite of their protestations, and that’s how I know that they all get over it.

Should I consider bringing my tort inside? Is that rational? Logical? This is a new concern for me as a new tort keeper. My dogs are inside.
Judgment call. I go by my comfort level. My birds all come in right away with any smoke at all because they are so sensitive to it. Tortoises should not be any more sensitive than we are, so if its mild enough for me to walk around and be outside in it, then I leave my animals out in it too.There is a fire north of me close enough that it’s raining ash, when do we worry about air quality?
