Hi Everyone!
New to the forum here. I am hoping to own a Russian Tortoise soon, and have read almost everything I can on them. But there is one topic that still confuses me: Lighting. I know that they need heat for a basking spot and UV light. I was going to go with a basking bulb over the basking area and then a UVB strip for the rest of the tank, but I couldn't seem to find a fixture to fit the strip.
Then I came across this: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752615&f=PAD/psNotAvailInUS/No
It appears to have all lighting requirements in one. Is that all I need? If not, I promise I'm not trying to slack, I'm just confused . One bulb seems so easy and simple I'm a bit skeptical haha.
Thank you very much!
