>>Hey thanks for the reply, you are correct about the temp. I took a reading and it went passed 110. As far as the heating pad i didnt purchase one yet, any recomendations? I would prefer to put it under the bedding. thanks Baruchi

I would reccomend under the tub because you will learn shortly that these guys love to dig, if its too hot they tend to burn themselves. You prob will not need a heat pad if you have a 100 mv bulb, they give off plenty of heat (i would reccomend 12-14 inches) Also, you must make sure that your tort is not ingesting any of the aspen bedding, it can be a problem if they do. Coconut husk (bed-a-beast) works great, you can mix it with sand or soil or both.
