So I have been reading through the rhp threads I could find but am still confused. I am constructing a greenhouse for winter time in Orlando Fl. I do not have my tortoise yet but am getting an adult or near adult leopard. Members have said that basking lamps can burn the scutes on a large tortoise. I plan to have a heated night box with rhp or oil filled radiator inside the greenhouse. But if I have the night box at low 80s, what do I do about basking if the weather is bad during the day if I can’t use basking lamp to get the 95-100 degree basking temp. Would I set up a different area in my greenhouse with an rhp set for 95 degrees? I don’t want to have an issue where digestion is a problem due to temps being in mid 80s without the 95-100 basking temp. In the winter the highs are not going to be always warm enough for the tortoise to go into the outside run? Would someone please clarify? Thanks!
