Hello,
So I purchased a 60 watt ceramic heat bulb and have a 0.5 ubv light as well in my wooden enclosure. My tortoise seems to wake up, eat his food bright and early for about 30 mins, walk around his cage for a good 10-20 mins then he is back in his hiding pot sleeping the rest of the day.
Any ideas on why he could be less active? He is extremely healthy and almost seems like he has a baby lifestyle sleeps, eats, plays a bit, naps and sleeps more.
The 60 watt bulb is roughly a 12 inch ruler length from his basking spot or approximately 10 inches the least. As well as his uvb light sitting on top of the screen.
