Hello! My Radiata

[jerryl]

Just got them today, pretty excited and cant wait to see them in action!

They are both appx 5'' , how old could they be?

And what is the best temperature for them? Will they be able to tolerant as low as 69's , 21 degree celsius at night time?

thx for the advice!

They are cuties! I'm sure someone who knows about this species will be along soon to answer your questions.

Nice domes. I hear they are pretty flexible temperature wise. If however you are keeping them with high humidity you will want to keep them about 10 degree warmer or risk a URI.

I had some smaller radiated tortoise only about 3 inches long and they are about 6 month old. They grow not very fast so I may guess they are two to three years old???? I can be off by far.....Hahaha....But you have couple beautiful rads for sure.

21celcius is quite low, i keep mine at minimum 23 at night. I even put the infrared heat lamp so that if the juveniles get too cold they can warm themselves up.

Thanks for sharing , 21oC at night time , from the air - condition in your room ??

As i am guessing you are from Asia ( Malaysia ) and even with constant rain , temperature should not get that low unless you are in the highland ie. Mount Kinabalu or Genting highlands ......

Radiated can but less prone to RI in asia but if you subject it to constant low temp with high humidity and with no chance to warm up ( hot spot to bask ) they will get RI just like any other Tortoise !!

Cheers
