Lol, he probably doesn't care either way.
Still, it is probably best over the long run.

What happens if their kept to warm? Just grow really fast? Or like horrifyingly bad stuff?
Walter had a big growth spurt a few weeks ago but it's his first since I got him last January.
In general, over time, some torts that are kept too warm will tend to hide and burrow a lot to stay cool.
So far Walter has seemed to do well either way, but you don't want to see that happen.
Their appetite does seem to wax and wane, so growth can do the same.

A world were Walter spends anytime hiding is not one I can imagine, he's never showed any interest in being shy, or digging. Living with him is like dwelling with a violently aggressive cat, who bites feet at any given moment.
He sounds best as a solo tortoise!
In any case, now you don't have to worry about him being too warm, as you were in the original post.
Eventually he might like a second level, or larger enclosure, as active as he is.

He is very much solo, I want to raise a hatchling at some point but it would not be living with him.
His aggression is always geared towards me, everyone else he just ignores.
I have heat lamps around my room, so he comes out when I'm doing homework, but I'm still attempting building an add on.
sounds good!
