I am not sure that temp is the issue, I could be wrong, as I have said I do not know a ton about tortoises but we keep the room at 78 degrees or so... I think bulling could be an issue so I put and section about 15 inchs x 15. that is the smaller tort can get into but the larger one cannot. as far as lighting goes the cage is set up inside with a uvb light on one side and that side of the cage also gets direct sunlight from a window but there is half the cage that gets neither... I personally figured it is not much different from the torts that are housed out side and can go into a shed to get out of the sun. I will have my wife comment later about what they have been eating because she monitors all of that. I do value everyone's insight on this and appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Matt
