Just wondering... My little Hermanns seems to sleep an awful lot! He is always up in the morning walking around a bit. I feed him and he will stay under the heat for a bit, will walk around some then bury himself and he can be buried, sleeping for most of the day. Sometimes I won't see him get...

So one more question. Right now I have the UVB bulb and the Basking Spot light. I was reading that the powersun UVB bulbs emit the UVA UVB and Heat. Could I get away with only using this bulb?

Hello everyone. Noob here and I already posted an intro in that area. I am from Arizona and just got a new baby Hermans today. He is our new family friend. I have been all around looking for a Hermans and I finally found one. Couple questions though that don't seem to add up right for me. We...

Hello All, Just signed up to the site and have a new tortoise. I am from Arizona and the name is Jacob. I do have some care questions and others questions but I think I will post that in another thread that may be more applicable. But wanted to do the little intro.
