Yes I know we've been over this but I would just like it noted that there is another point of view. In this particular case I think it is a very important point. I've lost tortoises to it being too cool but never to overheating under artificial heating/lighting. I'm not saying you are wrong but I do disagree with your suggestion.

: I know we've been over this before, and you are right, your temps are good ranges...but in order to safely offer those temperatures the enclosure must be low-sided with cross-ventilation or there is a risk of overheating and dehydration...
