Hi, I can see that lighting plays a big part in keeping a tortoise , however it varies because of different species , I was wondering if I had the correct lighting and if my tortoises will benefit from it...
I understand they need UVB which gives the same rays as the sun (i think) so I have got a flood light over the pen which floods the whole playing area of the playing area of the enclosure but not the house area in a white ray of light which I assume is UVB ..
Then I have a simple desk lamp, which holds a 60watt for my tortoise to bask in...
Is this an okay lighting for it? Do I provide anything else?
I <3 my torts!
I forgot to mention these lights both cost me a fortune , they are both from pet shops the desk lamp cost me about 16 pound , but the flood light cost me 100 with the stand and floodlight !! Do it must have good quality
