put it on the end with no top. i don’t see how the heat could escape,maybe some humidity though. do you have a UVB lamp? |

usually they are mushroom shape, with a silver covering from the fitment base to either half point or jsut over over point of the bulb. The silver reflects all light AND heat downwards. Most tortoises will spend their time near heat, as heat motivates them alot...so you should put your uvb light next to/near the heat light. |
