We have just purchased a viv set up. Would this set up be ok for a leopard tortoise. Under the ceramic heat emitter and heat mat it is 100 degrees and in the cool zone it is 79 degrees. Only thing I am missing is the UV light which we are purchasing tomorrow.
Any further advice would be greatly appreciated

I'm not sure about the fixture your CHE is screwed into. They get very hot, and you should be using a porcelain or ceramic fixture.

My brother who keeps snakes has used this type of CHE for the past year with no problem
