I am a new Russian tortoise owner. I have an outside area for him, but it is going to be in the upper 90s for the foreseeable future and I don't want to sit out with him. How many hours of sun does a Russian tortoise need per day? Is there a difference between "morning sun" and "afternoon sun?" as far as benefits? I want to do what is right but there does not seem to be any clear advice on this matter. He does not have a UVB bulb in his indoor enclosure, just a heat bulb at this time. Don't wan to roast the litter critter, but want to make sure his shell and bones stay strong. As far as hides in his pen and other ways to keep cool, I'd rather he keep cool in the house
