Thank you for all the advice.1. You don't want MVBs or spot bulbs for basking. Both will cause pyramiding.
2. What is a temperature outlet? You'll need a thermostat to control the RHP, and a digital thermometer to tell the temperature around the enclosure and properly set the thermostat to the correct temperature.
3. Should be fine.
4. That one should be fine at the distance you are using it. Only a Solarmeter 6.5 can tell you if its strong enough.
5. In a closed chamber with damp substrate and a large water bowl, you shouldn't have to mist ever. If you do, there is too much ventilation, or not enough evaporation.
1. I am currently acquiring 50 and 60 watt incandescent light bulbs. For the mean time, Do these work as well for now at least?
2. I was thinking of switching it with an Arcadia T5 HO 6% bulb. Would that be too strong? I also have a solar meter 6.5 coming but I am not quite sure how to use it. How would I know if it would be too blinding for my tortoise?
3. Alright that will probably easier once I have the RHP in hand as the temperature is inconsistent at the moment.
