    MINER-ALL

    Please can someone from the US post pictures of the front and back of the MIner-All packaging so that I can compare it to the one sold in the UK. My torts live outside during the summer and then have UV lights for Autumn and spring.🐢

    Substrate and lighting

    Can anyone tell me please if spruce bark is ok as a substrate and can I use a Che for basking? I do use Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED bars for daylight. I can only find Arcadia flood bulbs in the UK at £ 3.99 per bulb. Crazy price for a bulb.
