Please let me know how many of what wattage, and I'll make it good for you. [email protected]
I think I bought some food products from you at the Mesa Reptile Show in November?
Based on some things I've seen posted, 1 overhead RHP, 12x21" 80 watt
with a 12x21" radiant heat panel over head, all on one thermostat.
Yes. That's the one.
Do you recommend any other places to purchase it?Just a wee too expensive on Amazon! One of the few things that get price elevated when sold on Amazon
The retail on this unit is $90 plus shipping, USPS two day priority is $24. I'm going near a UPS store and see what their ground shipping charge would be. They weigh, with outer box, 4 pounds.
Tom - I need you. I have a contractor building a night box for me. He wants to use a 6x6x5’ shed. I said that will waste heat. I gave him your design. He says: “The Box that 1 of your friends or whoever had recommended was 4' by 4' by 2' they would have to be 4' tall of you're gonna have any type of heat lamp above the animal so that would be 2' deep so the smaller shed is the size that you were talking about I would recommend a bigger one because hes gonna outgrow it and if you're gonna spend the money on it future proof it for the animal.”Yes. That's the one.
You aren't going to use a heat lamp. The RHPs must be closer if they are going to work, and making it more than 20-24" tall inside is just a waste of electricity since the tortoise only occupies the bottom 12".Tom - I need you.

The only “heat lamp” I will use overhead is an RHP. Kane heat mat below.
