I have a question on infrared heat sources. Tom mentioned that he didn't recommend using the infrared bulb that came with my tortoise starter kit. I am picking up my Russian (6months old) on Friday and I've set up the terrarium with the infrared light. I wanted to know why the infrared is not recommended, is it harmful to the tortoise. It's 100 W so is this going to be too hot? Should I buy a different heat source? Since the infrared bulb ( along with the mini deep dome to house it) came in the kit, I am hoping to not spend more money on a new heat source, but if I absolutely have to, I will.
Thanks!
