Shed Temps advice

**16 shells** · 07-04-2009, 09:08 PM

Hi, i have just set up my shed, for my Leopard ,George (3 years) It's been a quick job because i do need him in there asap, due to a shift change, there is acess to a temp grass enclosure.
He has a 100w combined uv/heat lamp, i got 90f under it about an hour ago, will there be a massive increase during the day,do you think. When or if the sun is up. Also as back up he has a 150w ceramic on thermostat, set 85f. I would like to put him out in the shed early 5.30 am, but not to sure now, my partner is away for 3 days (nice when you can), and George is in the table till 3pm. Any advice please.

yes the shed temperature could get much hotter during the midday sun

does the tort have meands to regulate his own temp and move to cooler area

do you have a maximum minimum thermeter so you can check on the dayly range whilst you are at work

Yes i have made up a box within the shed, 6' by 3' the cool end read 60f, the cool end leads to the opening to the enclosure, all the main work to the enclosure i will finish weekend.
