Im getting ready to build a 8 x 4 night box for my 10 in Sulcata. I have ordered a oil filled radiator heater and two reptile thermostats. And plan on getting a pig blanket and heat panel.
My questions are:
1.)Can I run the radiator heater on the thermostat?
2.)Do I need a basking spot in the night box?
3.) If I needed a basking spot, could I use the pig blanket on the thermostat set to 110 degrees. While the ambient temp was 80 to 85 degrees
4.) Do I need to have a day bulb for a day and night cycle during the winter, he will have access to his yard, but some days might be too cold and wet.
5.) what are the clear flap things called on the entrance of night boxes called, and where can I get some?
Sorry if anything sounds confusing. Just want to get everything right before the weather gets to cool. I would rather work out any bugs now.
I have looked over several plans for night boxes and plan on building on similar to Toms
