Hello All,
Well as you can tell I am new here. I am getting ready for my first tortoise, a baby greek. Anyways, I have been getting ready with all the housing and such. One question I have is regarding basking heat. Right now I have a 60w ceramic heat emitter that is getting the rock to about 91-94 F...give or take. My question is, should I go with a 75w bulb just in case or should this 60w be ok.
Although the little babe will not be outdoor 24/7, I will be bringing him or her out dailey for some play time in the dirt and/or grass.
The smaller bulb is the heat, and that little black rock gets around 93 F is that hot enough for basking?
