What would be the ideal night temp on a heated house for a large 77 pound 8 year old sulcata that is being housed outside.
I either unplug it or set it to 70 in summer when its 100 degrees every day. I set it at 80 for fall and spring with our warm days and cold nights. I set it to 86 in winter when we have our cold spells and rain.What would be the ideal night temp on a heated house for a large 77 pound 8 year old sulcata that is being housed outside.
Thanks for the info, how do you feel about hound heaters for a large sulcata?I either unplug it or set it to 70 in summer when its 100 degrees every day. I set it at 80 for fall and spring with our warm days and cold nights. I set it to 86 in winter when we have our cold spells and rain.
I believe those are just a CHE contained in their proprietary housing. I don't like CHEs over large sulcatas because they concentrate too much heat into too small of an area and end up slow cooking the top of the tortoise. Plus a CHE alone probably won't be enough in our climate.Thanks for the info, how do you feel about hound heaters for a large sulcata?
I am in Texas and it is 53 degrees outside and only 72 in my insulated night house. It is heated but maybe not well enough. It is supposed to get down to 34 degrees tonight. Should I bring them inside? They are 4 years old and 8 lbs, and 8".
My enclosure at night is around 60 degrees. My guy is 75lbs. Should I try to get it warmer? it is 45 at night.
What kind of heating pad should I by. The bottom of his night enclosure is plywood on concrete.
Much too cold. Shoot for at least 80, but I like it to be around 86 on cold winter days and nights. Well... "cold" by AZ or SoCal standards... And sulcata standards.My enclosure at night is around 60 degrees. My guy is 75lbs. Should I try to get it warmer? it is 45 at night.
