I have just noticed that the mouth of my tort has gone white and i am a bit concerned please help!!!

Warmed up the room with an electric heater today and he's gone back to his normal self. Problem solved!!!! :D

I already know this haha I'm asking for What I can do to make it warmer

I really don't think it's the lights because in the summer he was so active and would not go back to bet until his lights were turned off and woke up when turned on

Okay
