Hello everyone I have a one year old sulcata tortoise and I think he is sick. It is about 64. Degrees in his enclosure and I know I need to bump it up to 80 but it is winter and it just hailed and I don't have a spare heat pad or anything that sends off heat so I will have to order something. He is looking very sick and slow so maybe its because its cold? Will he die in the three days that it takes for my heat emitter to come in? Or can he last? I do have a heat and uvb bulb in there for him and the heat bulb is bumped up to 75 watts and the basking spot is 100-90 degrees but everywhere else is 60. F. Btw and I don't know what to do before the heat emitter comes in. He is hanging around the heat bulb but he does not look so great. I would send pictures but this forum hasn't been letting me do that recently. Any help would be very appreciated!
