Using a thermatic heater (whatever that means), an infra-red, a ceramic and a regular bulb above and beside my tortoises in the 9 x 13' (which I blocked in half with a tarp) wasn't doing the trick. In haste I went to Lowe's and grabbed the $19.97 FeatureComfort space heater w/ fan to add heat. That darn little space heater will heat the space with temperatures to spare. I've shut off the other heater, turned off the ceramic and regular light bulb and hope the OG&E bill doesn't give me a heart attack. Now my problem in the shed and the house is keeping the humidity up to a comfortable level for torts, frogs, a cat and me.

Princess, the cat
One White's tree frog
2 tiger-legged monkey tree frogs
3 fire-belly toads, 2 dart frogs,
3 box turtles, 1 crested gecko.
