Hello there,
I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice with my enclosure. I got this 4x2 cause I got a sweet deal for $100 but I'm worried that the height is a little too short. It's 12 inches in height. So I am not sure if I should exchange it with something else. Or just keep it.
Some things that I'm using are: (I paid about $200 for this whole enclosure including everything that's inside it)
- 50 watt basking bulb to keep the basking spot at about 90-95 degrees farenheit because it is somewhat close to the ground so I can't really go any higher or else it'll reach the 100s.
- I am using forest floor as substrate at the moment in hopes to keep humidity to 80% all over the tank.
- Fluorescent uvb tube
- A big shallow water dish that I picked up from home depot.
I was wondering if you guys could offer some tips or advice to properly setup this enclosure for my hatchling Burmese Star Tortoise. Like how to keep the temperature at 80 for the cool side because at the moment it stays at about 70 degrees and also keeping the humidity constant within the enclosure. Or if I should remove or add some stuff to properly set it up. I attached some photos as I just barely set it up.
Or switch out the enclosure entirely.
Thank you for all the help in advance. I will truly appreciate it.
