A secada or sulcata tortoise should have a high temperature. 88 degrees would be good, maybe a little higher. Be sure there is also a spot for your pet to cool off.

Temperature is not the only concern. You also need to provide UVB light or your tortoise will not be able to metabolize nutrients.

Keep it slow and steady.
