I thought about mounting it under his drop down ceiling in his corner but I didn't think it would radiate enough heat for him. It gives instructions to mount it to a wall but again idk if it really would do anything. I think him sitting on it is the best option but i have no way of telling the...

The probe I have now in the enclosure is literally almost touching his shell and knock on wood in his 3 years of age he's never bothered the probe. I'm going to try and see how hot it gets under the pad and see if that will work but honestly I don't know if it even gets warm under it. I didn't...

Tom, I got a zoomed ReptiTherm industrial heat pad for my boy. It says it has an overheat shut off at 119 degrees. My question is, if you use a thermostat for a heat pad how can you tell the actual temp of the mat itself. Using a probe isn't going to tell me the temp of the mat or allow me to...

Thank you for responding. So if I got a rheostat that would let me set the temp of the mat itself? When it was on for 45 minutes I could touch it with my hand. You feel the heat higher as you move your hand around on the mat at each point you touch but once you keep your hand on it pressed down...

I ended up getting an optimus 700 watt mini oil heater which I think will work great. I also got a Zoomed ReptiTherm heat pad. I do have a question. Thermostats have a probe and I'm confused as to how to use one for a heat pad. If my tortoise is sitting on it how does a thermostat tell the temp...

What is your opinion on using the Chicken Brooder Heat Panels?

Hi Tom, My tort is about 35 lbs now. The enclosure is 4x4, however I set up an area in his corner that he likes for the mat & for a RHP to either hang OR mount it under the wooden roof that is obviously now mounted to the wall so he has a ceiling over the corner area, the mat in the corner and...

Would this Panel you sent me a photo of ok to hang with chains above my tort OR do I need to mount it above him..

I saw the night box that Tom builds and he uses the mat and the RHP but it does not say where he got the RHP. I did purchase the thermostat that Tom suggests and it does have a way to run dual heat sources at the same time.. The one I have now can have dual heat but they switch between each...

Thank you so much! So I'm in Florida and right now in Tampa Bay area it's gone down to 38 degrees. We have these cold fronts for a few days and then it warms up. So are you saying just that mat I just purchased tonight and a chicken brooder above my tortoise will be enough even tho the whole...

I just looked them up and I have another question. Can they also be used for my first tort to be under it? For ex: if i have a kane mat for him to be on and have one of these chicken brood heaters mounted as a RHP so it's above my tort when he's on his mat AND put another one attached to the...

They attach to the wall? How low g do I put it and would it burn my Scooter? Do they have a thermostat? Sorry Idk anything about them and Since my oil filled heater isn't here yet I can cancel my order and buy those. I just need guidance as to how many I would need and info about where to place...

I really like their size and it does seem like it would work good. If you do find a USA version PLEASE let me know and where you got it at. Thank you so much!!

Tom I'm really sorry to bother you again. Can you please tell me where you get your RHP from.. I ordered the mini oil filled heater and it still hasn't arrived and home home Depot is out of stock along with many other places. Amazon has it but Amazon doesn't accept my paypal credit line they...

Thank you! I'm j just curious about them and they have a safety cover you can put around it to. I don't think they get very hot on the outside but they still have a safety cover. They do look cool

Thank you for responding! I am going to get a 2nd oil filled heater as well but i have to get a different thermostat because the one I have only switches back n forth between heat sources it doesn't allow both to run at the same time

Tom, I have a question please if you'd give me your opinion. Have you heard of Greenbrook tubal heaters? They come in different sizes and watts, you can get a guard to go over them and They have a thermostat on some of them. Just wondering what you thought about those vs these oil filled...

My Scooter eats Bok choy, endive, escarole and I give him mazuri pellets, hay and he does eat grass. I do go around the property and get all the weeds here likes and will fill his dish full with weeds. You can get cactus for him, and if you go on the website called tortoise table you can see all...

I also have the strips in the door way for my Scooters home. I do shut the door every night but they are open once the sun is shining. I got an acurite thermostat now so i can see the temps inside my house. It reaches 330ft so the sensor is in his home and the thermostat is in my home so i can...
