What is the lowest temperature a Hermann's Tortoise can handle?

Hi,

I was wondering what is the lowest temperature a Hermann's Tortoise can handle. I live in Southern California and I would like to keep my Hermann's outside year round if possible. My Hermann's is the eastern race.

Thanks

I kept Hermans outside year round for a decade with no problems. They hibernated about 2 inches below the surface. I live in S. Az., the lowes were around 28F. on a cold year. Good luck.
