Ten or twelve is fine for nightime temps. As long as they have heat the next morning so they
can warm through.

If the temps were to drop to eight, then an ambient temp would need to be upped. Hopefully
that wont happen until Winter<g>.

Hi Jo,

You will probably never need to have night heat at all, even through the coldest winter nights without heating in the house after 10pm my temps have never dropped below 8 degrees c inside the tortoise table.
