Hello, this is my son's Russian tortoise we've had her for about a year. My son and husband recently built her a new indoor habitat because she outgrew her old enclosure. My son is only 11 so I'm trying to help him take care of her the best that we can. My question is about the lighting these are the lamps that we had in her old enclosure with a hundred watt heat lamp and a UVB lamp. I was wondering if we need to keep it warmer for her and I bought 150 watt bulb but I don't want it to be too hot. I we need to get a larger land before going to use the hundred and fifty watt bulb but I didn't know if it was needed. The picture is the temperature that it stays & now by the bulb. We watch the humidity level and Mist her Enclosure daily the gauge is just buy the heat lamp.
I've included some pictures of her new habitat and the lamps that were currently using, just letting some input on if she's warm enough or if we should go larger with the lamps and the bulb. From 100 watt 150 watt?
Thank you in advance for the input.
