Our 20 month old Sulcata had a close encounter today when a bulb fell into his substrate and created a smolder. Lots of smoke but he seems ok so far. Eating and resting and active too. We soaked him and will do that a few times a day. But until we remediate the smoke he’s in a big closet without ideal heat.
My questions are two-fold: what’s an easy way to increase heat that won’t also be dangerous for a few days or will he be ok at home room temps (73ish) for a few days at this age?
Also his shell smells strongly of smoke despite being soaked and gently scrubbed with a soft toothbrush. Any thoughts on if I should be doing more to rid the smoke smell from his shell and, if so, what?
