I have a Russian tortoise and I am trying to perfect his new set up. I was using a 65 W incandescent flood for warmth but my tortoises behavior has been off since his new set up with new lighting. I think my thermometer may be a bit off and his basking spot may not be warm enough because he continues to just hang out in his hid most of the time. It is still winter here so it gets pretty chilly. I’m trying to find a 75 W incandescent bulb and I’m having trouble locating one. I’m thinking this would bring in enough heat so I would like to give it a try. The only thing that I can find is this 75 W incandescent grow lamp. Does anyone know if this would be OK to use for heat or does anyone know where I could buy 75 W incandescent? I probably would even try a 70 W if that’s available. Thanks in advance, Tiffany
