does my sulcata need a uv/heat bulb on if he’s getting out and about in the sun outside during the day?
What kind of light is recommended for night time?I assume he needs daytime and nighttime to be different.
Can he get too much uv if he’s been outside then under the lamp inside?
Thank you.
I’ve only had him one day, he spent yesterday outside as it was warm and sunny (I live in the U.K. so warm and sunny aren’t common!!) I’ve got the correct bulbs for inside and setting up a greenhouse in the garden for him for the colder days.
He’s 16” long and the previous owner...

She is mainly indoors but when its a nice day she goes outside on the grass in the sun. She's moving around but not opening her eyes. We have been bathing her everyday. What things can we do to help with humidity? What are the best day and night temps?
She is moving around but still doesn't open her eyes. Can we spray her with water to help with humidity? Or will that not be good because of the heat of the lamp? Tryin to get her to the vet on Monday but got to see if the reptile vet is in. What is the best temp?
Hello my mum has a 6year old Herman tortoise. Since coming out of hibernation she has not eaten much therefore no poo. Also her eyes are now not opening! We are very worried and will be taking her to the reptile vet but would just like to know of possible things it could be?? Any help would be...
