Hi i just made a Tortoise Table for Shelby as the Viv was geting really hard to keep cool, and was to small for her I got ideas off the Forum and bought 2 storage containers and cut a side of one then cut a inverted section out of the other to make a opening i also got the idea to have the lid on one of the boxs to create a humidity half which stays at around 55, i bought a Solar Glo mercury bulb and stand and the wall thermometer reads at 90 in the hot spot. Are the Exo Terra Thermometers reliable as i had to adjust the stand to 19.5 inches to get a 90 reading and Shelby seems to eat then Bask most of the Day before eating some more she does go around the areas abit climbs over her logs and slates drinks too but she is spending alot more time under the lamp than in the Viv, may be it because its not as hot as in the Viv the Viv did have a cool spot of between 20 to 28 but the temps in the hot spot kept shooting up to 95 if i had to go out and had to shut the glass doors, I know that they bask to get there system going but i thought i would check that its normal for my little baby to sun herself so much.
