Thankyou! I’ve purchased a CHE and another thermostat for it, I don’t think I’ll be needing it anytime soon but would rather have it hooked up to the thermostat so it’s there to kick in if needed :)
Just to add an update, I’ve got a small walk in greenhouse I’m placing over the table today which should do the job nicely.
My next question is, nighttime heat. Currently it’s fine as it’s about 21c at night in her sleeping area but over the next week or so here where I am in the UK it’s...
Thanks so much. I really appreciate all the advice.

So I guess there’s no need to change anything then? I assume the daytime humidity gradients around the enclosure...
Hey guys, just wanted to ask for any advice with this. I recently got a 1 year old marginated tortoise, during the daytimes the warm side humidity of her table is around 50%, directly under the lamp is around 40% and the cool side 60-70%. With a humid hide of around 80-85%. During the night time...
