Hello!
My name is Nick and I am new to this forum!
Brief background:
Chameleon Family but branching off into my first true love: Tortoises.
Ordered a Western Hermann Tortoise to arrive in the summer.
We live in Minnesota so I plan to schedule as much outside time as possible but not always available due to region.
I look forward to meeting you all. I do have a few quick questions off the bat:
1. UVB/UV lights. Do I need UVA as well as UVB? What are people opinions of the “bulb” uvb versus the horizontal bulb. (Rod)
2. Heating mat for night. Do people commonly use heating mats for tortoises at night if indoor?
Thank you so much!
