So what i do is i place a wooden top to maintain the temperature and humidity inside the tank.  is it safe for the torts if my room fan is at max speed and i live in 7th floor...soo constant cold air coming from window....kinda sejuk in my room.... is it ok for the torts ? or i need to cover the tank with sumthing so the cold air doesnt enter the tank ?

Based on wiki
Elongata is Endangered and Radiated is Vulnerable So how come Elongata is cheaper?   |
