Twelve to 14 is good. Here's another question: Do you keep the whole room as bright as possible? I find that the enclosure lights alone aren't enough to keep my tortoises active. They act more like spotlighting. Animals that hibernate/brumate are especially sensitive to the changes in the horizon. The enclosure lights might be bright and produce UVB, but if the overall environment isn't bright enough, long enough, they might start to slow down.his lights are on a timer and they stay on for 13hrs. should i increase it to 14?
