I’m still really new to taking care of INDOOR red foot tortoises, I took care of adult RF (20-25 years) in the Caribbean in outdoor enclosures which was easier, so I have no idea what I’m doing while setting up... I was using a 10.0 UVB lamp and I’ve been told that it BURNS my RF’s eyes so I’m looking for a replacement. I don’t know which of the bulbs are better so please help! This light is for in the winter time since I’m planning to keep my RF outside in the summer in his outdoor enclosure (I live in Alabama gets pretty humid and hot.
I am also confused about the watts, should I get 80, 100, 125, or 160? The more watts the better? Is there a specific watt (?) size for young tortoises?
My tortoise is 10 months old.
