over night temps ?

[pryncesssc]

I was wondering what you guys keep your overnight temps at ?? I just checked on mine and its 66 , is that too cold for a Florida BT (hatchling) ??

Thanks!

i would try to keep it a bit warmer since it is a florida boxie and they (or so ive heard) are one of the harder ones to keep captively i would think 69 - 70 would be a good night time temp but thats just my opinnion, and i have no experiance with floridas

I don't know about BT but I am sure someone will be along to answer you question.

Check out this site http://www.boxturtlesite.info/ I found it on an older post by someone who said it was a good site. They also said above 65 should be a good night time temp. Howeved i am not sure how moist and humid they keep theirs. You can also pm ( Maggie 3fan) she has boxies. Hopes this helps

I don't like mine to get colder than 60. As soon as it's warmer than 60 at night, mine stay out all night. I even let my yearlings and juvies stay out to the 50s. Hope that helps.
