In a few months, I'll be leaving for the Republic of Ireland, (depending on the war in Ukraine it may change, but what's important is to get the night box done for her to stay outside)
I need help getting the mentioned items.
@TylerStewart , do you ship to ZA?
Do any other members or admins use good and safe subsitutes to the mats and rhp.
I need something to keep the internal temp warm, and something to keep the ambient temp constant.
(It's for my leopard tort)
I'll use isowall insulation. (Hardened polestyrene, solid, fireproof, water and humidity proof)

If you can't get heat mats and RHPs, over there You can always use mini radiant oil heaters.

I think space heaters could work too, though not very efficiently and you'd have to mount and use it carefully.

The inn that I stayed in near Capetown had some sort of radiant heat panels on their walls and that was their only heat source. It helped, but it wasn't enough to keep the large room warm enough for me, so I went and bought an additional space heater for myself. One of those RHPs meant for a whole room, would probably work well on the ceiling of an insulated tortoise box if controlled by a reliable thermostat.
