Hi everyone,
My dream of owning atortoise has finally become a reality.
I have bought a hermanns hatchling (born in July 2015). We named him Toto. I'm a little concerned about the bulb he is under as he does not spend any time basking and instead comes out to eat (a lot for his size) and then back indoors to his dark little cave. it was bout from a reptile shop. 125 watts uva & uvb. Is there a certain height this lamp should be over the tortoise shell. Im afraid I may be cooking him?
Thank you for your time.
