One temp is not okay. Needs a basking light, use an incandescent flood bulb for basking that reaches temp at tortoise height of 95-100.
All over temp during the day should be 75-80 and night temps in the 70's. A fluorescent tube light for uvb.
Water should be available 24/7 in a low sided clay saucer.
