The night temp should never drop below 80. The bubbles are your early warming sign. Correct this problem immediately. Tonight. You need a CHE set on a thermostat to maintain ambient above 80 at all times, and the ambient in the whole enclosure should be rising to the low 90s each day. Do NOT let the temp drop below 80 again tonight. Put the whole enclosure in a bathroom with the door closed and a space heater if needed.

if I have to quarantine the other tortise what can I do expect separate them cause I don't have another 2 tanks to be able to set up you know I mean there mostly fine toghter I think is when they eat they need to be separate but I have ceramic heater going on then rn and My terrium has towel on top I know it's not actually closed but keeps humidity up pretty good at 80 min for a good while I'm surprised the towel works so good I've got 2 real Live ferns in there for them to they love those Bostons but you think he will heal I can afford it but trying to avoid the vet if possible looking for a bit bigger burmese to addThe night temp should never drop below 80.

They also need to be separated ASAP because the stress of living as a pair can also weaken the immune system and make it easier for them to get sick. If you get another one, it will need to be quarantined for several months.
They need to be in closed chambers.
Please read this and look for the heating/lighting breakdown near the bottom along with the star tortoise care sheet. You are missing some elements.

Usually don't do it that high but he Usually wants out thr bath when it's not that hot he actually sat there fir a min in that
No. It is ideal.
Heat mats shouldn't be used with smaller tortoise indoors. Heat from over head and use a thermostat to control ambient. If you have to run the CHE all the time to keep it over 80 in there, then your CHE is too low in wattage. You should add another one of the same wattage and connect both of them up to a thermostat to maintain ambient. I'd go to an ambient of 86 day and night until the nose bubbles have been gone for at least two weeks. Then you can back it down to 80-82. Soak daily with the extra heat. Don't skip and days.
So i know my terriaum isn't what is supposed to be used but my CHE I think it is to high up I put it over them keeps about 80nexactly and around 84 eith the heat lamp on its emitting right over them.so keeping the ground around them at 80 85 but overall tank temp 80 exactly you don't think adding the Matt to get a extra 5 degrees would help i already ordered it i cna return but I have a CHE so what do you think other than add another which I can do but isn't ideal
