I have some small sulcatas and they live in a nice plastic tub with a basking light and a CHE. Temperatures are good and comfy right now, but it is starting to get a little cold. I am worried my lamps might not be enough in the winter as even at night my CHE is barely keeping the enclosure at the 70s. My basking light usually does the work keeping temps up but my torts would need a day/night cycle, so I would prefer not to keep it on all the time. Any tips to help us get through the winter? I have a few ideas: Putting my plastic bin in a bigger bin and maybe putting blankets in the space between the bins or something (to insulate the bin I suppose), getting another CHE, or using a heating pad in addition to the CHE I currently have. It would probably be good to get another CHE for the night, but I am concerned since the CHE I have right now is having some trouble keeping temps up. If I get a heating pad, where would it go? I would also like to note this is a closed chamber enclosure. These ideas might sound a bit weird but I'm open to ideas to start preparing for the long winter ahead.
While I have you guys here, is attaching some moss somewhere out of reach of my tortoises a good way to help keep the humidity up? Thanks!
