Hi! I am getting a new hatchling Russian tortoise and I want to know what temp his basking spot should be. I have heard anywhere from 95-105. Also, what temperature should the rest of his enclosure be? My house will naturally be 78-81 degrees, so the coolest part of his enclosure would probably be around there. Also, how long should I have his lamp on for? I was thinking 12 hours in the summer, 10 in autumn 8 in winter and 11 in spring. If you have any advice, I am still very much in need of valid information.
