Closed chamber bins
Hey guys, this is my current setup for my torts (2 redfoots and 1 elongata) been reading about closed chambers on the forum, problem is since the bin heights too low, i set the heat lamps outside
So far im getting the the following
Temps 30-32c
Humidity 80-90%
For air circulation, I open the bins entirely during cleanup and soaking
It really is so much easier to maintian humidity in a closed chamber vs an open one, I never got this amount of "fog" on my previous setups
My questions are:
Is this setup ok? The lamps outside of the enclosure, but the temps are maintained well (I guess living in a tropical environment has its advantages)
Airflow - is it sufficient? These are not airtight bins, and the I open them at least 2x a day during soaking, cleaning and feeding
Oh and the torts dont stay here permanently, they have an outdoor enclosure when the temps are just right, I also soak them under direct sunlight
Thanks!
