    Tortoise tank lid

    I plan to turn a tank into a closed chamber. I also want to leave my heat lamp and basking lamp sitting on top of the tank screen lid. I was wondering will the heat from both lamps melt the screen? Should I buy the metal screen lid or will I be ok with a regular screen lid?

    Tank height

    I was looking at tanks for my sulcata tortoise. The height of the tank is bugging me a bit. It is 10 inches high. I am going to get a screen lid to place my basking and heat lamp on top. Is 10 inches to low or should I get a tank that is 12 inches? I don't want my sulcata to burn or something

    CHE and Basking

    This whole time i thought That a CHE and a basking lamp were the same. Now i know CHE is to keep the ambient at a good temp and a basking lamp has a light to attract them to keep warm plus it is kept at a higher temp. Are both lamps necessary? Would only having a basking lamp be sufficient...
