I live in southwest Florida (Fort Myers area) and have an adult male Greek tort, names Hercules. He loves to snuggle and loves to "dance". I purchased him from a pet store a few months ago. He recently had an upper rep infection and was treated by a vet with antibiotic injections every 72 hours for two weeks and is better, eating and gaining weight although he still has a runny nose. I think it has to due with the humidty we have down here. He lives outside on our caged in pool patio. Plenty of room to roam and lots of sunshine with shade available. My question is as our weather gets cooler (you know us in Florida, 70 is cool to us) should I bring him in at night and put him under a light?
