I need your expertise advice as my baby hermann tortoise'shell is cold, does it mean he is too cold? do i need to keep his shell warm as it was warm when at the pet store.
Many Thanks

Don't go by how it feels. Use a thermometer to check all of your temperatures.

Here you will find the correct temperatures:

Remember. Your body temp is 37C, so a tort‘s shell will pretty much feel cooler at any temperature less than 36c. Like Tom said, get an IR temp gun & take various readings of your tort, enclosure, things inside its house etc.

Good luck
