There's a thread running on the TT Forum too, please read it. Andy H has just updated and I thought it said the bulbs need to be 50 cm away from the torts minimum.
But I only read it quick as I'm off out now...

The problem with this kind of statement is that you have to factor in wattage and ambient temperature. You cannot give a fixed distance unless you fix the outside variables which affect the single variable.

here's another point of view with water rather than humidity being the main factor http://www.testudo-farm.de/html/formation_of_humps.html
