Night Heat?

[Andy Kizer]

What is the best way to kept things warm at night? I live in AZ, so it doesn't get too cold. What is the ideal temperature? Thanks!

A Ceramic Heating Element (CHE) in or on top of your enclosure depending on size of enclosure and wattage of the CHE can provide nice continual heat. Add in a thermostat set to the temp that you want/need and you and your tort are all set.

Are there any specific models or brands that you recommend?

Thanks a bunch! I'll start out with the 40 watt and see how that works. What is an ideal night temp? Do I just get like an aquarium thermostat? (Sorry, I'm still new).
