Hi everyone!
I very recently adopted a 7 year old Greek tortoise. The previous owner had kept her in a small glass tank with a zoo med double dome lighting. While I am awaiting a turtoise table to come in the mail, I have also built her an outside enclosure.
My question is, when and how long should the heat lamp or uvb light be on? I plan on letting her rome for a few hours each day in her outside enclosure but keeping her in her indoor tortoise table for the majority of the time. I’m not sure if that will affect how long I should leave the heat lamp on each day.
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated! This is my first time owning a reptile.
Thank you!
