Temp OK?

pagan queen · 08-07-2010, 02:15 PM

I got my digi thermometer today and checked the temp in the sun and it says it's 116 f, in the shade where the tort is sleeping its 93 f. Is that ok for him or should I bring him inside?

He will move if he gets too hot

...as long as he has some shady sheltered areas or some soil to dig down into he will be fine

Thanks Bindi. It's ridiculously hot out there. He has a cob nut tree in his enclosure, that gives loads of shade and lots of soil and other shady areas so he should be fine.
