We're almost done cleaning out the basement so that we can move the Russians down there. I've got all four of the new torts down there temporarily, so I've been monitoring temps - ambient temps vary between 69 - 72 right now, so that's great! It might get chillier in the summer, actually, and if that's the case I'll get a heater to go in there.
Anyways, we are going to build them an area that is 10 ft x 4 ft (for the eight russians, not including Vanya since he can't be with them for several months.)
Do you think two seperate basking spots will be enough... I don't want just one spot because I don't want them all crowding in one spot, so I was planning on two spots using the heat/UVB combined bulb in each spot.
I'm excited to get this done, I think the Russians will love it!!
Oh last question.. it's three breeding size girls, three boys who are 4.75 - 5 inches, and two little girls (4.25 inches approx.) When the boys are hot and horny, do you think they'll bother the two little girls???
