Hi all,
I have a baby leopard tortoise who is growing fast!
I am having a much larger closed chamber enclosure built.
I'm done with trying to adapt my stock tank to make it work! No more mouse-trap games
The enclosure is going to be made from PVC, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be 96x36x36". Might as well git it made to last a while.
My questions are about how to set up lights and heat in an enclosure this large.
I'm guessing a larger UVB bulb--I currently have a 22" one.
Does my tort need more than one basking area?
Heat is my big concern--I am currently using a 100 or 150 watt CHE, but I do have an 80 watt RHP.
Please help--I wanna get this really right, finally!
Also, if anyone has any building tips, I'd love to hear them!
(Sorry @Markw84, the shipping costs put me over the top...).
Many thanks, Katie
