I am setting up my enclosure, and I have a two in one hallogen bulb that does heat and UVA for a basking spot, but I have been reading on here that torts need more light than that (which is understandable)
Well, the thing is, I already have a 2.5 (ish) ft hood lamp, with a reptile bulb in it that I used to use for my box turtles because it was full spectrum light (no heat tho)
I am just wondering if that would be an overload of UVA/UVB and if I should buy a reg bulb for the hood, or if I can use the one i've got.
Also, my basking lamp is the 5.5 inch one (up to 150 watts) is that big enough?
(oh....the species that I am getting is a Jordanian Greek male)
Thanks!
