My Horsfields are not Marilyn monroes - don't like hot. 26 - 29 is adequate, plenty of depth and a little house so that its dark for them - if they have something over their shell they feel like they are in a safe cave so try some newpaper touching their shell - turn lights off by 4 oclock and they will be asleep by 6 ish. peace ! if they are scurrying around at night - its too light - in the table place some newspaper over their table and make it dark. so sweet !

Thank you Cherry, yes, I think the table maybe a bit small by the sound of it, I wonder if the other half can work on an extension 🤔! I have turned the temp down over the last few days actually and noticed a little difference. The newspaper sounds like a great idea, most of the scratching goes on in the dark area so may just do the trick, thank you!
