The red-footed tortoise does not hibernate, so it cannot tolerate prolonged low temperatures. The temperature requirements of red-footed tortoises and Indian star tortoises are relatively low, 26-28°C during the day and 23-25°C at night. For red-footed tortoises, a certain amount of temperature difference is a must. This can better promote the metabolism of the red-footed tortoise

When it comes to temperature Talking about sunshine, adequate sunbathing is very important for red-footed tortoises. The long-wave UVA and short-wave UVB in natural sunlight are both indispensable for biological growth. They can promote the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the body, and vitamin D3 can promote calcium absorption, so that the turtle shell can grow better. Wild-raised red-legged tortoises have finer lines than captive-bred tortoises, which are related to diet and sunlight.
