Hello and welcome!
I use a CHE on a thermostat so it goes on and off as needed. Got both of mine with a wide dome for total of about £85 from The Range (Komodo).Hello everyone I've been reading about the amount of light Russian tortoise require as you can see further down in the thread I have picture of his tortoise table a little small will be making a bigger one . Do you think he'd benefit from another light source , thinking maybe a tube light down the centre ? Also I am worried about temperatures at night as I love in the uk and it's getting cold what sources do people use to provide a heat over night ? Thanks for reading Tom
Yeah so helpful ! Do you provide your torts with over night heat? And what first do you feed them ? Good to hear from another uk based member
I know Preston well George, my sister went to Harris College/Poly/Uni (whatever its called these days) and my BiL is from Leyland spent a lot of time up that way before they moved away. There is another new member from your area but can't remember her name at mo.
Do you use a 125w CHE in the day? if so no need for a second - use the same for night - the thermostat will control it.Just been looking at them , what size would you recommend I have a 125 watt for in the day was thinking maybe a 50 for at night ? And what sort of temp do you find best I was thinking around 50. Thanks for all the help
I have a Russian. I use a coconut substrate though called Eco Earth.Hay what what species of tortoise do you have ? If you have a horse field what substrate are you using ?
That's awesome! What a small world we live in I'm based both in Preston & now in Leyland also. Lovely people, and good herp stores!
