Bump! Also this is what the night temp and humidity is, if I turn everything off. Tortoise isn't in there yet bc I want to make sure it's right. The "out" temp is the inside of the hide.
I've got the CHE over the hide.. A regular incandescent in the middle (above the water) and the strip light between the middle and the right. I'm wondering if I should just fill in where the guy made a place for the water and put it on the right hand side instead..?
Granted this is the new enclosure and is a work in progress. She's still in her old one until the grass starts to grow and I fix the heat.. The humidity in there is perfect but the temperature is too low. I'll be adding a CHE soon.
Hi there,
Some readers/responders might be misunderstanding what you're going for. My tortoise lives in a viv, otherwise known as "bioactive substrate". The pictures you shared show a sloping down into a water feature, which wouldn't really work, but everything else is pretty much the same.

Update, I know it has been a while but I've been in a winter funk and just not had it in me to complete this yet.
The good news is that the temp is staying pretty consistent (at least over the last 6 hours). The bad news is that it's not warm enough. However I do have a 150 watt CHE, I just...
The halogen bulbs I've seen here get far too hot for these plastic fixtures. I used to use one for my blue-tongued skink. I don't know what E14/E27 even means though, LOL!
Ribbon...from backpacks? Huh? I'm confused lol.
I have laid a tarp down so I'm not concerned about that so much now.. But...
You, sir, are a smartypants! lol. I found some old cup hooks in the basement, so I've got that going for me... tin snips on the other hand, I'll have to purchase :'(
The fixture itself (for the T5) has nowhere to attach anything. No hooks, no holes. I don't know about you but I am not skilled enough to try to make my own holes in a metal fixture and void the warranty.
I can link you to the thread I made about my tortoise's enclosure and how p/o'd I am... I'm looking for someone local to Southern Ontario who can maybe help me out.
