Hi all, I know someone out there will have answers for me,
I have a six month old leopard tortoise who is currently living in a 5’ x 2.5’w x 13”t stock tank.
Today I was moving some things around because I had ordered a greenhouse to put over the stock tank to help keep heat and humidity in.
when unplugging and replug in lights and heat and, the dome with the CHE bulb kept blowing the fuse. I tried the CHE in another dome, same thing happened. Upon investigating the domes and CHE, all are blown.
Since I now need a new heating element, I would like to switch to a radiant heat element.
Can someone please advise me on what type and wattage of a radiant heat panel I should buy?
Thanks so much!
Katie
