Hey I guys I am new to this forum.. however I have always came here for info on my now 11 year old redfoot tortoise Loki. I live in the Northeast of the US where we have pretty cold winters (can get down to about 10 degrees at lowest) I have a 8 by 4 enclosure (stock tank from tractor supply) for my tortoise with 2 CHE’s along with a basking bulb and a uvb bulb (those are on a timer and turn off at night while the CHE”s stay on through the night) I have heard very 50/50 opinions about redfoots requiring a cooler spot in the enclosure of lower then 80. My enclosure has hot spots of 90 and an ambient temperature of 84-86 throughout. I also have insulation around the whole enclosure right now to ensure that the heat stays in being that it’s now getting colder this time of year and her enclosure is in the shed. Do u guys think I need to find a way to create a cooler spot for her? Or no? I’ll attach a picture or 2 of my enclosure for her as well. Thanks guys.??
