Hey everyone! So today I bought my very first baby sulcrata tort, this is the first time I’ve ever owned a tortoise/turtle so go easy on me. question number one, so I have the tort in my room, and the ceiling fan is in the middle of the room while the tort is on the side by the window, is it alright to turn on the ceiling fan? Or would it cool down the enclosure that the tortoise is in(it’s in a glass, 10 gallon enclosure). And Yes I do have the 2 lamps, the 10.0 UVB and the trilla night black heat light, so would it cool down the turtle too much? And then question number 2, I am supposed to turn off the UVB lamp every 12 hours right? So like right before I go to bed I turn it off and then when I wake up at like 10-11 or so, I turn it back on? Thank you guys for the help! It’ll mean a lot to me since this is my first ever tortoise, here’s a picture of him! (Edit) also one last question, is it ok for me to leave the tortoise in the room after I first got him? It makes me nervous to leave him so I’ve just been sitting here for a while watching him
