Box turtle
New Member
Hello everyone,
I am finishing off my indoor enclosure for my box turtle and was wondering if anyone has any ideas/suggestions what would be the the best method keep the temperature stable during the night time. (My house temperature is about mid/high 60's -low 70's during the night time).
I was planning on using a thermostat (Zoomed reptitemp digital thermostat?) with a CHE ( 100w or 150w). However I have been reading a lot conflicting information on the use of CHE for box turtles mentioning that is not ideal because is too dry and some other disadvantages as well. I read some comments mentioning to use a "warm humidifier" instead.
Ideally I would like to keep a low budget. Please feel free to share any links to any products.
I am attaching a a picture of their enclosure, which is not finished yet, still waiting for the lighting systems and water filtration system to arrive.
Thanks in advance,
