I currently have a young Sulcata in too small of a tank with a mesh lid. No matter what I do the humidity is not working for me because of too much light and what not. I got a larger snake tank from a friend, but it’s a tad skinnier than I wanted it to be on the base. However, if I were to lay the tank on the side it would become the almost perfect tortoise table. I’ve figured out what I would like to do to ensure he has UVB in the tank if needed. However, I’m not sure how to go about heating the tank from outside the glass (now roof). I intend to cover the open side with plexiglass and make some sort of door that I can get into and to also better keep the humidity in. Does anyone recommend a safe way to heat the tank? Can a CHE be hung from a certain distance to still heat the area but not damage the glass? Should I use some sort of bulb for the day and switch it at night if needed?
