So after some minor adjustments I've now managed to get the cooler end to maintain a temp of 82°-83° & the warmer end is a constant temp of 87°. Hoping this will be enough but tell me if it's not. Humidity throughout the whole enclosure is 85-87 using a hygrotherm to maintain it automatically...
Yes cherry heads 13 months old. They are being rehomed as the owner cannot keep them but shes kept them perfectly from day one. They are also from 2 separate sources.
Enclosure all set up, everything automated and on timers. Holding temps/ humidity perfectly. Live plants all becoming well established. Just waiting to collect these 2 cuties once we're back from Glastonbury 2019. Think I'm more excited about the torts than I am the festival Haha. Hope every...
The end that's heating up nicely feels lovely lol. It's warm and humid the cooler end is keeps dipping below 80° I was hoping to create a more steady ambient temp especially with young babies. Adults I wouldn't be so worried. I'll probably get another stat was just trying to avoid spending...
The DHP is maintaining an ambient temp of 85° across a 3ft diameter no one spot is hotter than the other and humidity is staying very stable it's just the other end of the enclosure is dropping to low. It's controlled by a dimmer stat and gives off no light.
So I'm in the final stages of completing my redfoot chamber. I'm struggling to maintain an ambient temp throughout. I'm using Arcadia deep heat projector but I think the enclosure is just a bit too long for the one lamp. Could I use 2 deep heat projectors one at each end from the same dimmer...
Thanks for your reply. I'm in the UK and In summer, the average temperature ranges from 9–18 degrees Celsius (48–64 degrees Fahrenheit). On occasion, it can reach around 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) in a heatwave.
In winter the average is between 2 and 7 degrees Celsius (36–45...
So sometime later this year I'm going to branch out into getting some cherry heads. I've read and read and read about this species and the 2 thing's that I'm finding have the most differing opinions are UVB and animal protein. Even on the threads on here there seems to be different opinions on...
My plan is for a heated 5x4 indoor area and then it would have access to the whole garden. I've been waiting a long time to have enough space to have indoor housing large enough for the winter months in the UK.
Have absolutely no intention of rehoming him lol. Even if I did I'd have to fight my children Haha. Also no intention of breeding I think there's enough babies available every year I don't need to add to the market. If I ever had the room for a group of Gallops or Aldabras then I'd give it a go...
Just wanted some advice I have a 3 year old(well I've had it 3 years) Greek spur thigh that I found in a field when it was absolutely tiny (I'm in the UK) it's always been happy and healthy but I do not have a certificate or any paperwork for it. I know they require paperwork but where do I...
To me it does feel like I can see a mild improvement her scutes seem to slowly be growing wider and outwards rather than upwards. She is so adorable loves attention always says hello to me before she starts munching her food. I knew when I bought her she was already developing quite deep...
