My guy gets to 110F (body temperature) and eats like a pig.
(and no this is not a recomendation.)

: How is the lighting?
: If the lighting isn't bright and strong, some tortoises won't eat as well.
: I rarely have torts indoords, but I know I can have a warm sulcata, but until it is very bright, he won't eat.

: Are your thermometers accurate? If he is too hot, he won't eat as much.

: If you haven't taken him in yet for a yearly check up, right now might be a good time to rule out illness or parasites. Sulcata are very good eaters and change in appetite is disconcerting.
