hi got a tortise table few days ago and wondering do i leave the heatlamp on overnight for my tortises or not?

[ReptileCentre]

@vBrownie1 no, if it's a Mediterranean tortoise it should drop to room temperature at night

Is there any types of tortoise that you dont need to heat, and will stay out in summer and then I can hibernate in winter?

[ReptileCentre]

@Mineshack in the UK? No. Millions of 'garden tortoises' have been imported into the UK over the years. The sad truth is that 99.9% of them are now dead. Our climate isn't suitable
