Thank you very much! This is just what I wanted to know. I live very near the Catskills, so it's encouraging to know that you've been doing this here successfully for so long. Garnet is a Marginated tortoise, and she's only about two years old, and still little. I've kept her primarily indoors...
Well as I said in the post, it doesn't get into the 90s (F) until about July/August, and even then it doesn't always get there. On the days that is warm or hot out, but not that hot, do people usually give their toys supplemental great, or just let them stay out all day? In an enclosure, obviously
Yep, her humidity is fine, and I'm not worried about her indoor enclosure at all. But when the warm weather comes I want to get her outside for most of the day if I can, but I'm worried that the temps might not be high enough.
For those of you in colder climates, when do you usually start to bring your tortoises outside? I'm in New York, and even in the hottest part of the summer, temps aren't regularly in the nineties, let alone in the spring. Should I bring my tortoise in for part of the day to get those high...
