I know I've asked this same question 5 different times,but I am so worried!! My approx 5 year old russian lives outside in her enclosure. She dug down in her burrow about 2 months ago. I can feel the top of her shell if I stick my hand down there. We just had a rainstorm for 2 days and she stayed dry in there.:) I live in Scottsdale Az. My question... Wednesday night it might get down to 36 degrees. Should I pull her out? I know you guys have told me she can handle cold but want to make sure. Thank you!!

As long as it is not below freezing where your tort is, it should be fine. The key is that he is staying dry.
You could put a thermometer with the probe under the soil next to him to give you a better idea over winter.
