Hi there, I need advice on what exactly the temperature gradient should be for an Eastern Hermann's tortoise hatchling that is 7 weeks old. I think that I have gotten confused based off of posts regarding hatchling tortoises in general vs Adult Hermanns vs specifically Hermans hatchlings. I have been maintaining temperatures that were kept by the breeder I bought them from (95 basking, 80 low end day temp and 80 night temp) However, I am reading these may be too high for a Hermanns?

Feedback would be very helpful so I can quickly adjust accordingly. It seems that my tortoise is not using the gradient that does exist currently and prefers to stay around the warm end (80 cool end, 95 basking) which is why I had not considered they should maybe be lower?

Thanks!
