Question regarding the heat ropes. I would assume that they dont get hot enough to start buring the mulch or whatever substrate you use? I have been using almost entirely Sphagnum Moss and get it somewhat damp and using a CHE to warm that part of the enclosure, which will also heat the moss helping raise the humidity. I use a timer on my CHE to help it turn on and off throughout the day which helps keep the warm part of the enclosure in the high 80degree range. Oh, i also have redfoots.
I also figured that if the torts want to cool down, they can burrow into the moss, or go to the cooler side of the enclosure.
Do you also use a thermostat on these ropes?
Thanks for sharing!
