as far as my temps go... they are pretty even through out the whole room because I have them in about a 10x 14 room with a 42 inch fan that runs none stop 24-7, I have a few different thermometers in the room. I also have them on cypress mulch for bedding. For feed my wife feeds them a lot of romaine lettic and kail as well as mix of vegs, like peppers, tomato, celery, ext. She also has feed them fruit once in a blue moon like strawberries but that is not very common because if I recall right someone told us that fruits are bad for torts. As I said already, I do not know what is all going on, and I apologize for not getting pictures right a way but I do not have internet at my house right now and still have not had time to get them.
