I have a baby red foot ( just got it two days ago ) and I do have a CHE and a UVB light. The CHE is on one side of the enclosure and it gets to about 90 degrees. The middle of the enclosure is also fairly warm with about 80 degrees, but the problem is the far ( dark/cold side ) it’s about 75 right there and the substrate feels slightly cold and wet. My tortoise tends to stay under the CHE to bask or near the somewhat middle of the enclosure but it never goes to the cold side. I have it’s humid hide near the CHE so it’s nice and humid there and I have to regularly mist the enclosure to keep humidity levels up. I use cypress mulch and orchid moss on top as it’s substrate. I poor lukewarm water on all sides of the enclosure because I heard that’s a really good way to keep humidity. I’m just not sure what to do about the cold side. I read that the entire enclosure needs to be atleast 80 degrees so should I buy another heating lamp to put on the cold side or what should I do ? Any and all advice and tips will help, Thank You
