You don't wanna leave the uv or basking light on overnight. I have a CHE and that goes on overnight while the lights are off so it stays about 78-80 degrees but there's no light (I wouldn't want to sleep with the light on all the time) - I'd recommend you get one of those. A lot of the time, I turn my auto mister off at night so it's not cooler AND wet. I have foil covering the top of my enclosure (because it's a screen) except where the bulbs are and I've been able to keep the humidity above 80% now with the ambient temp between 81-84. I've never used heating pads so I don't know about those. His coco floor is warm and not puddled with water. It took me a month to get it where it is so I'm sure you will do fine. When you get the CHE, just make sure you have a ceramic outlet dome for it.I got a new cherry head today I'm staying positive
I cleaned the terrarium and bought all new substrate
I have an issue I was hoping someone could give me some insight
I have the 75watt basking bulb
A 24 watt heating pad underneath
A 12 watt heating pad along the side
And the 13watt UVB light
The tank is at 80 degrees on the side with the basking lamp and humidity is at 75
The side with the UVB light is 72 degrees and humidity is 50
If I turn off the basking bulb to go to sleep and leave the UVB light on
Will the tank cool down TOO much throughout the night? ?
Should i go and buy a separate heating bulb for at night so the tank stays warm 24/7
I don't wanna cook my tort but I'm wondering what I can do to keep it warm constantly
Also, I just went and pre ordered the exo repti-fogger, I've heard it can be great for red foots if kept on low. Doesn't come in for a few days though.
But than if the tank gets too cold and the fogger is on could it be harmful to the tort?
What else can I do to keep the little guy warm?
I live in a basement where it can get a little cool so I'm looking to figure something out.
I really wanna stay positive and just hope that I can keep this little guy healthy.
