I mean it’s in line with the spine….right???

Hi all - Sorry if this shows up twice, my post disappeared.

Our vet recommended a new open top vivarium for our tortoise to help with a little wheezing respiratory issue. We are on day one of building the Viv but have immediately noticed the temperature fluctuating in a very erratic way. We thought it could be drafts coming through affecting it, but the huge jumps from 23 to 28 are making us think it could just be faulty? The sensor is at shell height (shown in second clip).

We’ve had so much conflicting advice on tortoise care from vets and tropical shop owners, so I’ve included a video of the vivarium, any advice or suggestions are welcome!

Also we are aware the vivarium looks very unfinished, it’s still in progress!
