I am currently doing my research with the potential of getting myself a Russian Tortoise and am wondering about lighting.
If you can get all the light you need from a combination bulb, why do most people choose to use separate UVA and UVB lights in their setups?
What are the advantages of using separate bulbs? Is it dependant on the size of the enclosure and to localise the basking area in one part of the enclosure? or are there health/care benefits from the UVA/UVB light coming from separate sources?
Any advice/input appreciated
