Hello.
I am near Sacramento, CA and it is getting into 90's now, and I am thinking to start living my tortoise outside for some time during day only. I am more worried about getting into lower temperatures, because he seems to get sick every time temps (air) in closed chambers go below 87. humidity 50 to 75% , depending on when i make it wet. Do other people experience this?
I read bunch of threads about not living a hatchling under 6 inches outside for longer than 2 hours. Is it for a fear of overheating, or any other reasons? Mine is about 3 inches, he is approximately 6-7 months old.
Thank you in advance!
