Short term I expect torty would just bury down and hide away if it got too hot for him. It depends on how big your enclosure is and how old your tort it. Hatchlings can poss overheat easily, they can be a bit delicate. Could you reduce the temp of the room torty's in? That should bring the basking spot down

...or leave the door to the room they're in open, or turn the heating down
