Cocos habitat and life updates

[Tom]

Tom, there is nothing available without LED on it! Believe me I asked and they said everything was online! I went to the bulb and battery place and the one I was given was the only one they had! No other brand they had either without LED! And we already discussed the online situation with regulation crap! So I decided to start looking at reptile stores because it was the last resort! I posted pic of the lights below!

The overnight low is at 70-78 depending when the heater turns back on!
Cooler ends is @74
His basking area now is @87 and his humidity is at 39% right now!!

What bulb or bulbs are over the tortoise right now?

Do you have no incandescent bulbs in your house anymore? In a closet or pantry? Laundry room? Porch light? How about a friend or neighbor? Family? Someone has an incandescent round bulb in Vegas somewhere.

The left one (coild uvb) - don't use.
The right one (round basking light) - use it until your incandescent lamp arrives from Amazon. Make sure it is at a height so temp is around 95 under the light.

Ok!! ??? UVB Tub here we come I guess! ???

The joy!

Regular basking bulb “until the ones needed arrive and a night bulb just heat! Only at night!

Try rearranging the dishes so it's not in the basking area.
