Outdoor Redfoot Enclosure

[TMartin510]

I have a question, So I'm in California and it gets decently cold outside probably around the 60s right now, maybe even colder in winter like 50 and 40s early morning. I was wondering what some of you use to help heat your torts at night, I've seen some of you heat the inside of there hide, but how? And what would be best to use? I'm working on building the base and covering the enclosure, I don't have any pics yet but I will in about a week or so. If anyone has any tips of advice for me I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

I have read that a lot of folks use oil filled radiant heaters or heat pannels.

Sorry, but I just have to say that I've never seen a pyramiding tortoise like that as the picture on something for sale. You think they would have picked a better tortoise for the box. Bad marketing. Many inexperienced people are likely to think that is okay after seeing it on packaging.

Yah the other package looks a little better the one with the sulcata
