He has a UVB bulb but because the attachment is a bit high, his basking spot is about 21.5c is this far too low? Am going to set him up in a different place i think...xxx
Hi larrah, depending on how hot your basking light gets then you can alter it to the tortoises needs.
my light is only a 40wattage, and has a aliminium shade to reflect all heat downwards above the tortoises.
it is roughly 5 inches above my tortoises.
depending on the wattage, and how much heat it gives off you can alter it.
you can test it with your hand or a thermometer
