can you guys help me?
i have a prebuilt open top tortoise table that i invested a lot already. so i made some revisions for the humidity. The table is 6ft x 3ft and 24inches in height. it has wheels so i can move it anywhere. it opens at the top ill be putting a screen on top.and i have a plastic to cover the top of the whole screen to make it more humid. the insides are all lined with a pond liner the area at the back which has a door that can be opened and closed to acces the small "house" for them to hide in. it is also lined with hard plastic. so moisture wont be a problem for the wood. the table will be outside in our front porch
question.how do i set my lights?
do i put a CHE inside the small #House" and then another CHE outside? plus a tubelight for lighting and a uvb t5 Ho 10.0 light plus a 50w incandescent for the basking spot? in what order do i do the lights?should i cover the entrance to the "small house" with rubber black door flaps to make it dark ? or should i use clear plastic flaps?
ive take a pic of the night time temp and humidity inside the table that is still with the sides and top open so when i close the side door and then put the plastic on the top of the screen door makes it more humid
im from the Philippines btw im new here but i learned a lot reading. so im making sure to make the most out of what i have already to make the enclosure more humid.
