    Temperatures

    My baby sulcata is in a closed chamber enclosure with temps of 95 under the basking light and 75 down the cooler end and would just sleep most of the day near the basking spot. When I did a spot check yesterday I forgot to totally close up the chamber (there was no risk of escape) but I only...

    Should I be worried about my new Russian tortoise?
