(Obviously in the UK though we are rarely ever going to get 32 degree sunshine outside haha) |
Even in the wild they dont have 32c all day:0)
They have varing temps though out the day. So you could easily let your tortoise warm up in the early morning and then put him/her out. As long as there is housing they will find it:0)
My smaller tortoises are outside 24/7 at the moment without any extra heat at all.
Tortoises rise with bright light, then go to the heat source to bask.
Even my adults who are a lot bigger, dont have extra heat outside now, they do have a GH to go to. But choose to come out early in the morning when the sun is up. They were out at 7am this morning and it certainly is not anything like 32c then:0)
