: My wife and I are about to accuire a 10 inch sulcata whom will have to reside indoors for now because its a cold winter in boston.The room she'll be in is 4x6,I plan on heat and vitalites ,but I cant decide on which heat pad or pig blanket is best.I also havent found many pig blanket suppliers,just BUSH supplies.What about the fiberglass heat mats, are they any good? The mat should probably radiate heat UP, to protect the floor, and I would guess be thermostatically controlled.Please help,I need it soon, the best suppliers to shop would also be quite appreciated.

Since the Boston area gets quite humid in the warmer months and you indicated the tortoise will be outside when it gets warmer I would think the Tortise is being sentenced to a death sentence. I also live in a fairly humid area (eastern NJ) and decided to keep only torts that thrive under high humidy (Yellowfoot and Redfoot). Does anyone else out there keep airid loving torts outside in humid climates??
