It's been a while since I posted. I hope everyone is doing
fine!

I have just upgraded Peabody's enclosure to a larger size
as he is 7" shell already. I purchased a large tortoise
tub from a reptile show in October.

Anyway, my question to you is: Do you keep your Redfoots
at a wide range of temps and do you utilize an open top
enclosure? With the larger tub there are many different
temp zones. For instance his hide is at the far end of
the tub and is cooler because it is the furthest away
from the lights. Under the lights is about 90 degrees but
then it cools as it spreads out.

I do run a room heater during the night to keep the room
73-75 degrees.

What do you think, is this OK or should I be concerned that
the temps are not a pretty constant 80 degress temp ambient?

Sorry for going on and on....it's early!

Linda
