Now that the summer is getting closer, and I can let my yellowfoot in its outside enclosure again, I've started to wonder how low night temperatures can yellowfoots safely endure.
My tortoise is 6 years old, I've had him since 2009, and up until now, I always took him inside for the night when the predicted minimum temperature was below ~65-70F. Would it be safe to leave him out on a bit cooler nights as well (say, ~60F)?

YF's need more humidity than there cousin the redfoot. Also tend to favo and less complications when temps are in the mid to upper 80's ...
60's I would fear the risk of RI's. I know with my RF's I do not let them stay out at anything below 65...
