I have a Hermann. He is usually out 24/7 between late May to late September without additional heat/light except for a couple of cold frames...this could be prolonged in early Spring and late Autumn with artificial heat/light.
I generally wait until the night time temps are consistently 10 degrees F.
However, I have left him out at night in temps around 7 degrees which is fine as long as it just the odd night, not prolonged and the days are hot...Remember that if your tortoise is roaming the house over a prolonged period, he will not be getting UV.
