Hey everyone,
I'm trying to put together the correct lighting for a hatchling Burmese brown arriving next week hopefully. As of now I am thinking of going with a zoomed t5 5.0 bulb that is about 10 inches from the tortoises shell. I know these guys are forest species and dont love intense light. I am planning on constructing out of pvc a sort of cube frame that will go into the enclosure, and I will drape fake plants on top, and real plants on bottom to try to simulate a shaded rainforest environment with scattered light coming through. Also will have a CHE to get one side up to about 85. How does this sound?
