After some advice... (lighting setup) currently in the process of upgrading my 2 marginated tortoises enclosure to give them more space! The new enclosure is just over double is size! For substrate we are just using sterilised top soil with coco noir as they seem to like that best.
My question is, with
Regard to lighting, is a 40" 10.0 uvb tube with reflector and 2 x basking spots enough? Or Am I better to invest in 1 x mercury vapour bulb and ditch the uv strip? Is there such thing as too much uv? I'm aware I need a "cooler" area of the enclosure, but it is big enough for 2 basking areas! Any help is much appreciated!
