Hey All-
I will be ordering a Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoise here in the next few weeks and wanted to get some husbandry issues settled. I recently read Yvonne's post that Burmese Brown's as a forest species do not require a full time UVB bulb, and that she noticed that when she did add a UVB bulb to the enclosure that they all hid the entire time it was on. I am wondering if this is universally true, and if anyone had this same experience.
During warmer months I plan on getting the tort outside for some sun once in a while, but during the winter months he will be exclusively indoors. I do have a closed chamber setup with a UVB strip bulb setup for my young sulcata indoors. I was thinking that I could put the Burmese brown in a tub, punch some holes in the lid, and put that inside the sulcata enclosure once in a while to get a bit of UVB. How does something like this sound?
Thanks!
