    Temperature CHE bulb

    Thank you for your reply :) Under his basking bulb it is exactly 38 degrees C, 24 degrees at the coolest end of his tortoise table. I suppose it is just trial and error with the CHE but I have managed to set it to 22 lowest and 26 highest for during the night which I hope helps tito :)

    Temperature CHE bulb

    I just move the CHE to which ever corner tito decides to sleep in it's always one certain corner and another corner at times, I know that isn't ideal but it's only on a clamp so easily moved and he doesn't move from the corner once sleeping, I know this because I check on him during the night...

    Temperature CHE bulb

    I've had tito for 3 years and he always sleeps in the one corner, never goes anywhere else to sleep :) I've tried heating the hole area and the end with the bulb always goes super hot before the end without the bulb if you know what I mean, I can easily move the bulb to the corner which he...

    Temperature CHE bulb

    How about if I put the lamp to the other end where he normally sleeps? As the lamp struggled to get the far end of the cage any higher than 23 degrees C, so if I moved the bulb to the other end where he always sleeps and control the temperature with the probe so that under the lamp isn't too...

    Temperature CHE bulb

    Raising it isn't an option with how I have it set up. Right now my tortoise is sleeping furthest away from the bulb in the corner. Under the bulb is 40 degrees C, and the corner Tito is sleeping in just now is only 22 degrees C. Should I move the bulb to the side he normally sleeps at? And...

    Hi guys :) Really struggling with something to do with my CHE bulb. I'm using one for during the night in the bed area of my tortoise table as my tortoise is on antibiotics and I have been advised to up my night time temps to at least 25/26 degrees Celsius. I have a thermostat and a...

    Tito the tortoise needs your help

    Thanks for your reply :) My thermostat has arrived so I'm just playing about with it until I get a constant correct temperature. What would you suggest is the best temperature at night for him seeing as he is on antibiotics & eye drops just now. Last night it was reading 26 or so degrees on my...

    CHE bulb help

    It has been running for a good couple of hours now & my thermometer is reading 26/27 degrees Celsius. Is that a good temp for during the night or far too hot?? Secondly, with you saying to me to go back to how it was in my first pic is that just until I find out the correct temperature for the...

    CHE bulb help

    I've removed the lid of the bed area and clamped the CHE bulb to the side and closer to the substrate, was thinking of getting something to cover some of the space where the lid would have been and that would hold some heat and stop it escaping?

    CHE bulb help

    No idea how I am going to get it under the roof it's really big in size & been told that is the light holder I have to use as the other ones are unreliable, that's the correct holder for it seemingly, it's really large. I have a thermostat coming it's still out in delivery just now. Could I...

I was told to do so to up the temp at night as it can drop very low in my house & also due to the fact tito has an upper respiratory problem & the vet has advised me to up night time temps...
