So I've set up the Heat emitter last night it is a 50v I'm worried its not powerful enough to do the job. It wasnt that hot and the thermostate didnt turn off. My tort still isnt really moving today or eating. Will he die if he tries to brumate being so tiny.
Can I also ask why are people in england so anti Vivs for tortoises. I have no idea how you can keep anything humid that is open like a tortoise table.
Oh really where do you live? Part of me is toying with the idea to just get a viv if he needs it for a couple of years. If you would be up for selling it. I could make something for now until the lockdown situation has changed?
I have ordered another ceramic socket which I can hang from the original stand I have. Is this okay or do I need another dome?
How do I hang them from the bar? In the greenhouse? I worry it will fall down if not tied?
I didnt know that about the UVB that's been on for 12 hours a day. I will make sure is just on for 3 hours going forwards.
And for the night time heat- have the thermostats set at 80degrees?
Oh that's good then I wont worry about them. I forgot you put them in the link, ordered so much today. I will go back and look now as having trouble finding them. Thanks for the reminder.
Yes I've ordered the bulbs that's a shame you cant get them. :-( I feel so much better now knowing he will...
I've noticed since adding more water to increase humidity, that there are small flies around like tiny ones. Will these hurt the tortoise at all. I am currently searching for a greenhouse cover to increase the humity.
Sorted the thermostat now and have purchased a CHE, the bulb is a spot bulb I'm sure, I can't order the one you sent or find one in the UK is there anything similar I can get?

Is it something like this?https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078WP7XQG/?tag= also sorry I have no idea :-( does it screw into the lamp where the heat bulb currently is?
Okay I will defo find the CHE and I'm sure I have a thermostat I got with the set up. Here are pics of the bulb and the end house. Should I be using a thermostat for the heat lamp and the CHE or both? Can you also send me a link for a timer switch as currently I turn the lights on and off...
Thanks for coming back to me. Chelmsford UK. He is in an open top table. Which is hard to up the humidity I pour water in regularly to help. I feel sad that his shell is so bad I didnt know anything about tortoises when i got him recently as a gift, and then found online what it was :-(. I have...
Hi there I have a horsefield tortoise about 10 months old now. Always had bad pyramiding so I've upped the humidity levels. At night when I turn everything off though it goes really high. Up to 70/ 80 percent. During the day it's about 50percent. My tort has curling on the shell and now doesnt...
