Started my enclosure, more advice please *pic*

[shutty]

Hey

So after looking at hutches and runs in town yesterday I decided I didnt like any of them so bought a load of wood and started my own



The picture is naturally unfinshed but now I have some choices, the house will have a front on it and a hole for a door, but I am still unsure about heating it at night. I made it tall to allow different heights for bulbs if I wanted.

Would it be suitable to put in a nighttime heatbulb, say 40w? At what height should this be from the floor? It will be on a habistat which I already have so where should I put the sensor and what temps shall i try to maintain in the house area?

I was planning on using soil/sand in the actual housing area as the substrate or do i need to put in an actual wooden floor for them? Maybe a stone slab under the heated area so it maintains some heat?

It looks smaller than it is in that picture, its a decent size, very happy so far. Will furnish it with suitable exploration areas and plants, considering a cold frame at one end too
