60+
Sun
No wind
offer exposure to sun as well as shade so the tort can regulate

Well I hope Ohio has great weather cause tommarrow I'll be with my grandkids in Ohio . I wish I was there NOW !

I took my RT out in the mid 60's...he chased a dry grape led all over the yard!! I am convinced DIgger's only concern outside is finding shade or something to hide under! The baby sulcatta- haven't taken him out yet. We have had only a couple days that hit 60 ish and there has been a wind.... they are saying 70's are coming soon so I am hopeful!!!

Grandpa Turtle, it has gotten a little better since last week. What part of Ohio are you visiting your grandkids in?

I'm in the Cleveland area, 2 miles from Lake Erie. So our weather is a bit different than yours I think. We had snow yesterday. I probably won't take my box turtles outside for at least another month.
