Confusion about enclosure (HELP WITH UVB LIGHTING).. RESOLVED!!!

[BetsyTheTort]

So everyone who posted on my other thread about HELP WITH UVB LIGHTING! It has ALL been resolved!!!

Today I went to PETCO, and we got a UV PowerSun that emits UVB, UVA, Light, and Heat all in the same lamp.. I also got a 50 watt heat bulb just to be extra sure she has a nice basking spot!

Everyone who recommended I get a plant.. well we got a Jade Plant! She absoloutly loves it so Im going to go back sometime soon and get more plants for her.. I rearranged her setup so she had more room to explore.

Im very happy with my setup and I hope you all are too!!

I like the half buried hide log. Remember, when adding plants to your enclosure, be sure to transplant in good clean soil. Oftentimes nursery planters have those little white perilite chunks in the soil, as well as additives that are harmful to your tort when ingested. Also wash the leaves of the nursery stuff that they use to keep the plants looking pretty for the customer. These chemicals are bad for the little guy as well. I've got jade and aloa Vera with clumps of weeds and grass dug up from the yard. Looks great and keep posting the pictures.
