wellington said:How much space is between the light bulb and the top of your tort, inches? Do you have another source for UVB? If so, try a CHE. If you need the basking to be UVB, try the smaller watt MVB. However, with any of the basking bulbs, there is a certain amount of space that is suppose to be between the bulb and the tort. It should say how many inches from tort on the packaging. If you don't have at least that amount, you may have to revamp you enclosure top.
