Thanks Jodie and your right about diligence! We must show lots of it when when our weather goes to the extreme.

Thank you. He had quite the following for awhile!
I am so sorry to hear this. You and his new caretakers must be so sad. I can imagine this happening. I'm ashamed to say that one night, I shut Charlie's door, thinking he was inside, then later I found him huddled next to his nightbox. He couldn't get in because the door was already shut. Luckily in our case, it wasn't really cold, and he hadn't been out that long, so he was fine. Still, it really scared me.
Many people don't realize that when a tortoise gets cold, he doesn't have the instinct or the intelligence to always go back to his heated place. There have been plenty of times Charlie would hunker down in a corner of the yard, and I had to move him. While moving him, he was a dead weight until he was put into the doorway of his house; then he realized where he should be.

I am so so sorry for your loss. You did a great job with him it sounds like.
