attached are pictures of my setup so far.
I am currently saving money for an enclosed chamber
The chicken wire is covered with plexiglass except for the spot for the light.
-orchid bark from lowes
-Flood light 65w on a timer for 12 hours. ( I do think I need a higher wattage)
-Heat emitter 100w on at night for 12 hours
-her humid hide will be upgraded to a larger one tomorrow
I originally bought that log thinking it was a good hide but after research, it is now just a place for her to climb. She was lying on top of it yesterday under the bulb.
-Temp under the bulb is 90 and around the enclosure high to mid 80's.
Do I need a higher wattage?
I take her outside for sun every day (if it's not raining) for 20-45 minutes. I provide shade and some greens. She does seem to enjoy eating outside in the sun rather than inside her enclosure.
After outside time today, she hung out in her water dish for a few hours.. She hast done that before..
open to hearing ideas, critiques, advice <3
Sorry for the essay just a concerned tortoise mom.
