I've had a new house built for my Greek Spur-Thighed tort. It is identical to the one pictured (without the water damage), except with a beam across the apex of the roof to aid in installing lamps etc. It's this bit that I'm looking for advice on: I have a basking lamp, heat pad (which will be connected to a thermostat), UVB strip light, and (still-to-get) ambient lighting, which all need to be installed.
Where do you guys suggest I locate each of these elements? I know the heat pad needs to go on the ceiling, but as to where everything else is best located, I'm struggling to envisage. I'll need to secure a gang extension socket somewhere too.
I do have the option to remove the partition wall if it would work better without it.
Just to be clear, she has a large secure outdoor space in which to roam; this is just her overnight house and where she will go to sleep and chill during inclement weather (I'm in the UK and my tort isn't too fond of our wet days!)
All suggestions and advice much appreciated; if you can share pictures of your own similar setups that would really be helpful.
