Hi, Tortoise-loving Friends.
I am making some changes in the indoor enclosure for my Hermann's tortoise.
She is a good sized gal: about 7.5 inches long and probably 7 years old. I don't brumate her, but bring her inside to her own enclosure for the winter. Her enclosure is in a small triangular shaped sitting room which we hadn't used much, so we just kept a heater going to keep the temperature of that room where we wanted it for her. That temperature is just a bit too warm to be really comfortable for us.
But this winter we want to use the room as a quiet sitting area for us, too. I had thought to NOT heat the whole room, but to use an MVB to heat up one end of her enclosure- which is an open top enclosure. I bought a 160 watt Reptisun MVB but am having trouble finding a good lamp to put it in.
Any other ideas?
Thanks! :)
