Hello I’m new to being a tortoise owner and I have what I assume a baby Russian tortoise, I wasn’t told it’s age at the store I got it from but it’s fairly small, I’m concerned about the heating in my room at my night, I was instructed to get a heat mat at first but later found out there not good so stopped using it but the room I keep my tortoise in gets cold at night so I’ve been leaving my heat lamp but turning off my UV light and placed his hide further away from the direct light, is this okay ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.
