I'm looking for advise on using a radiant heat panel to heat an indoor 3'x5' hide to 80-85 degrees for our 6 year old leopard tortoise, Reggie. We're starting with a room temperature of 72 degrees.

What size (watts) panel would I need? I expect to regulate with a thermastat.

What brands are good/recommended? Where is the best source to buy it ?

Mounting it on the ceiling, how close to the tortoise does it need to be? How closes is too close?

Would it be best to center it or place is to one side?

This is my first time using a radiant panel so I'm looking for advise from the experts.

Thank you!
