heating

Hello there, although ventilation has been discussed before, after some post searching I feel my question is specific to my set up. So, my leopard tortoise is living in a luggage trailer I converted. It holds heat nicely I find, and recently I introduced a humidifier to pump up the humidity...

I have a 60w incandescent basking bulb low on the far right (100 degree basking spot). I have a CHE on the far left, situated high in the enclosure; 20" above substrate. (UV lighting is in the middle.) I have a thermostat connected to the CHE, at 82 degrees. But, sometimes it gets to an ambient...
