Hello! I have a 1 and a half year old horsefield tortoise, and I know that the heat lamp (and UV) is supposed to stay on for 12-14 hours a day, however, still being 14 years old and living with my parents, they won't let me leave them on when there's nobody at home, as they are scared it will catch on fire! So I end up having them on from 3:30 to 10pm (6 and a half hours) which is a half of the minimum time. And I also don't have nighttime heat yet (I am getting it soon). What should I do?
