I don't hug anyone over the Internet. Who knows what kind of Internet cooties you people have.
I am feeling better nowHA! Were you feeling overwhelmed and discouraged??? Would you like a belated internet man-hug?
Hah! It's not me alone feels that.You definitely seem to be softening your tone lately. Now you are even offering Internet man hugs...
I am not tom but i read a lot. Maybe i can help a little.Hi Tom! I read that you use mercury vapor bulbs. I bought 1 100 watt bulb. Will that be strong enough?
Thank you! I can use all the help I can get right nowI am feeling better now

This only apply to fully closed enclosure: Usually if the temp outside the enclosure is 75F at the lowest, a regular 40watt bulb is right at the temp you want in a at least 4ft x 4ft with 2ft height enclosure. The bulb is 1ft from the basking rock.
My enclosure is 3ft by 7ft the height is 2ft, i use 40w happily.
If you are going to use mvb, they come with high watt of course, then you should consider your enclosure have flexible height to play with.
Do Sulcata's slow down eating in the winter if kept indoors?Hi @Crowley1103 and a very warm welcome to the forum!
Torts do not like change. Therefore, they need time to adapt to a new place, enclosure, owner, climate and so on. Moreover, in Winter torts tend to lose appetite. I've noticed hat on Oli (my beloved Greek tort): in Summer he eats well, and very well. Now that it's getting chilly and at times cold, he's beginning to lose appetite.
Soaks in warm water seem to do something positive to a tort's appetite.
