So for the winter I am turning a bedroom into a turtle/tortoise room. We have male & female Razorback turtles, Hermanns tortoises, as well as our Jo Jo (desert tort rescue). This room will need heat and uv light. Question… During the day couldn’t I use a grow light 400 or 600 watt for both heat and uv? This would be a Metal Halide grow light. Metal Halide to recreate spring and summer sun.
If I used a T5 light I then would also need to heat the room, why not all in one. Of course I would use a heater during the dark period (night).
