It’s my first time posting, I finally created an account since I’ve received great advice from so many forum topics here. Moving on
I have a tortoise house, it’s 2x3 ft. and is 12 inches tall. I am having a hard time maintaining an overall temp above 80°. His basking area is about 90° At night I have the temp around 75°. I was using a 60 watt CHE and purchased a 100 watt CHE today to see if it would bring the temp above 80. It’s at 78-81 with a small blanket over the top of his house to keep the heat in. It’s around 67 in our home, so if I don’t have the blanket, the cool air dries everything out and it just doesn’t stay warm enough...I’m kinda clueless on what to try next..any advice/help would be appreciated!
Here are some okay pics of what his home looks like if that helps..
