ok awesome! That was what I wanted to know. Appreciate it. Yes, there is a humid hide, a log and the other side is cooler with lesser light. Thank you!
Do you happen to know what reading a Russian Tortoise requires? I am reading conflicting info online from 1-2.6 to 2.9-7.4.
I built a PVC stand to hang the Arcadia 6% bulb from (see pic) but I am waiting for the bulb to come in.
Anyway, I Just need to know how high up to hang the 6% bulb. I...
@Tom are you able to help me? What is the correct UVI I should be aiming for, for a Russian Tortoise? I have a T5 6% tube and need to know how high to hang it above my pet to get the correct UVI (which I don't know what that is, is it like 4.0?)?
HI everyone, I have looked and looked and cannot find how high about my Russian Tortoise i need to hang the Arcadia Pro T5 6% tube bulb?
I have a 5X5 foot enclosure for 1 male.
I'm creating a stand out of PVC pipe but need to know how high up the light needs to go. Plus, i'm wondering what...
I need help with lighting please! I recently upgraded Squirtle’s enclosure to this 4x4. Currently I’m using a Mega-Ray 70 watt MVB and next to it is an LED 10watt household bulb just for more light.
I know it’s too dark in here and not sure if I need to add another light stand and dome and...
thank you! As i mentioned, the only bulbs are a Mercury Vapor Bulb 70Watt so that takes care of everything as far as heat and UVB goes. I don't have any other option for housing, unfortunately.
HI there, I am having the same trouble too. My tortoise wants nothing to do with the basking area and immediately goes into his log after he eats. He never just 'hangs out' in his house, he is always hidden. I have yet to get anyone to respond to my thread :(
Hi everyone, i need some help here please! He eats just fine, for the most part, and is pooping great, but he comes out in the morning to eat and goes right back into his log for the entire day and night until the next morning when i put more food in.
Got a Russian Tortoise about 3 weeks ago...
The guides are not telling me exactly what i need to know. Can someone literally give me a link to the exact lighting and heat that i need? and also the temperature gauge? thank you so much
Hi everyone, I bought our Squirtle from a very reputable Reptile only store. They specifically told me to purchase the following which I did. Can someone tell me if this UVB and Heat Lamp is correct? I keep the red heat lamp on 24/7 and turn the UVB lamp off at night. The more I read on here...
Hi! My son is 8 and he just earned a Russian Tortoise after having worked all summer for it. He has been wanting one for 2 years. We are all excited in this house to have this little guy with us. Reading and learning as much as we can and enjoying just watching him. Here is a pic of him after...
