Hello! I have a 48x24x24 enclosure for my 3 month old Leopard tortoise.
I currently have a 65 Incandescent flood and a 14% Arcadia UV bulb. (14% because the height one my enclosure)
My temps are 84 on cool side and 94 on warm side with 105 directly under the flood, on the rocks.
I also have a Radiant heat panel that runs at 80 at night when the lights come off.
My humidity is at a steady 80 but jumps up when I mist, comes back down to 75/80
My questions are… is it too hot ?
My tortoise paces on the cool side and rarely goes to the other side. Why?
He is eating and pooping fine.
Could I swap the 65 incandescent for a 45 and let my Radiant panel pick up the rest?
Please help.
