I have a 8x4 tortoise table, with built in hide. The unit is wood. I can bring the entire table to temp, except for the built in wooden hide, I can't seem to get it to raise much above room temp (74f). It is about 1ft x 2.5 ft and humid. The flooring is hard plastic liner on top of wood, with bark and coconut chunks as a substrate.
Any recommendations for a product I could place inside of the hide to add a little heat, I would like to get it to 80-85f, all heat pads warn against anything but glass, and all the heat panels are too big, or warn against humidity/loose substrate.
If I could find a small ceramic bulb and lamp, I could go that route, but all the small lamps I've bought have been really low quality, one (sold for reptiles) even started to smoke.
