Hello everyone.

Jordan has been going through a heatwave lately, and temperature reaches about 36 degrees C in Amman, during the day. Would you advise me to give my tort a soak twice daily?

Anyone's help would be highly appreciated,

Thank you.

Hello. My friend.
How about just one slightly longer soak?
Since your tortoise is an indigenous tortoise...I'm theorizing that he can tolerate the higher temps pretty well.

Once a day should be enough, but an underground retreat would work well as a cooler area. Many ways to do this.

I could give it a try.

As far as high temperatures are concerned, well, he tends to get restless at times.

Thanks your help, Ed.
