Well I've had him for a few months, but between college and trying to get everything perfect for him I never got a round to introducing him to the forum. His name Is Mole 'cause he digs holes. Attached are several pictures of him as well as a (rather mediocre) picture of his tort table I built from an old bed-frame. I love him to death! 
I was also wondering what to expect for his activity level during the winter? Ever since winter showed up he won't even wake up unless I dig him up. Been giving him a daily warm bath every morning and feeding him afterwards and then he usually goes right back into his burrow box/humid hide and sleeps until I wake him up the next day.
Lights are on 14 hours a day, temps follow: 95F-100F at basking spot, 70F at cool end during the day. I put a CHE over the entrance to his burrow box in an attempt to get him warmed up and more active in the morning (on same timer as lights, keeps burrow 73F-75F) no success thus far. It gets about 65F at night. Maybe lower on cold nights but no lower than 60F.
He's my first tort, so I guess I'm just not sure if I should be worried?

So that works out perfectly.
