So I am in the process of building an outdoor enclosure for a russian tortoise. I want to be able to keep him outdoors all year, so I want to put a heat lamp with thermostat in his shelter which we will build, for the winter months. We live in a relatively warm area in California, so it rarely gets to freezing temps.
My dilemma is that the enclosure is very far from a power source. I have heard of people rigging up solar powered heat emitters for chicken coops, but has anyone had experience with a small scale version for reptiles?
