Hello, I'm new to the forum and hope someone can help with my question I have tried to look for the answer but I am getting conflicting messages.
I have just built an inclosed out side enclosure to keep my two spur thighed tortoises in all year round, they are 4-5 years old I think.
I have placed a 125w Exo Terra solar glo bulb in the enclosure to provide UVB and a basking spot.
The bulb is at the manufactures specified height to give the correct UVB
My issue is what temperature should I be reading? The surface temperature will obviously vary depending on what the surface is so I am assuming that I should be making sure the air temperature under the lamp is correct? E.g. 32-34 •c
Is this correct?
