I'm getting 3 hatchling eastern hermanns in 5 weeks and trying to get everything together that I need. I'll admit, I'm kinda puzzled by the whole lighting thing. Brands, sizes, timers, when they should go off, and when they should turn on.
I plan on building or buying two closed chambers that will eventually be modular. One 4ftx32inx30in to used while they're young and then a 8ftx32x30. They will eventually be joined when the torts are big enough and need the 12ftx32x30 space for the winter.
I need suggestions on lighting/heat for each unit starting with the smaller one.
Let's put it this way... how would you outfit a 4x32x30 closed chamber for 3 hatchlings? I'm looking for brands, sizes, specs, numbers of lights, CHE or radiant panels etc. Ambient room temp is 65-70.
I've head good things about Acadia but can't find a website that sells them.
Also.. what if I wanted to have live plants in the chambers eventually.
Thank you
