I’m doing research for adopting a Hermann’s or Russian one day.

My spare room where I would keep the tortoise over the winter gets to about 63 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Is that OK or is that too cold? Would you use an overnight heat emitter?

My home thermostat is set to 72 degrees Fahrenheit now but that room is always a little cooler because it’s the northernmost room so it gets less sun exposure and the furnace heat doesn’t seem to come in as strongly there.

Thank you.
