Hey everyone! I have a 6 month old russian tortoise and I have some questions regarding the humid hide that I'm still unsure of after tons of research. He's in a 55 gallon tank for now. The warm end is at about 91 and the cooler end around 75. Humidity stays around 70 percent. I'm working on my humid hide. My question is...I have to order the thermostat offline...should I go ahead and put the che in over the humid hide and just monitor the temps...or wait for the thermostat. I know my whole tank could stand to come up a few degrees so I didn't know. I'm getting the 60 watt che. Also when I get the che can it sit on top of the mesh lid like my basking light...or do I need to find a way to suspend it closer to the hide. Thanks on advance!
