Hi guys
Really struggling with something to do with my CHE bulb.
I'm using one for during the night in the bed area of my tortoise table as my tortoise is on antibiotics and I have been advised to up my night time temps to at least 25/26 degrees Celsius.
I have a thermostat and a thermometer to watch temps however, I turn the bulb on and set the probe at one end of the bed area and the bulb is at the other, underneath the bulb is reading 34 degrees Celsius but at the far end of the bed area it is reading 26 which is perfect but not so perfect if my tort decides to sleep directly under the bulb?? How can I get the temperature to be the same throughout the full bed area??
It is a large area to heat but the time one end reaches 26 degrees the other end is sky high and he will fry??
What do I do??
