Hi all,
So, I am currently trying to find a suitable solution for keeping the heat up on the indoor tortoise table I have set up.
Backstory: I live in Wisconsin, so Filburt only gets time outside in the summer. Next year I will be building an outdoor enclosure out of stone so that she stops trying to escape the yard.
I currently have a 100W zoo med uvb+heat, but I can only get the temp to about 70-80.
I was considering using the zoo med deluxe heat rock, that has a temp controller, to give her that little extra heat during the day, and to heat the substrate around her little house during the night. I figure that if it is inside the enclosure, instead of on top, like a ceramic heat bulb, the enclosure will lose less heat.
What are your thoughts?
It IS water resistant to a point, so the humidity should not hurt it.
