Living earth thermostat is a good un. I get good control with mine. Strip light could mean anything. Size of enclosure is way smaller than I have my 3" juveniles in. So basically if your going to get this tort in my opinion the stat and strip light connections could be used in a new build enclosure. I'm a sucker for the week and needed. This tort needs a new home badly.

Even if the strip light was a top end uvb light. You would be better assuming it's no good. They deteriorate over time. So best getting a new tube.

I have several otherwise healthy pyramided Redfoot.
With these, the condition has smoothed out with time, but still there.
It's only a cosmetic thing.
