Best light

[Sheldonesrey]

Hi, I am building a new open top enclosure for my 2 year old hermann tortoise.

It’s 1194mm by 1118mm in size so fairly big and I’m looking for the best basking light and holder

Any recommendations?

This is the best kind of basking light

You may need to experiment different watts, most go 50-75w.

This is the kind of uvb to go for


For ambient lighting you can use a regular screw in led or strip lighting, colour range 5500-6500k.

For a holder you want a dome with a ceramic fitting(not plastic)
