Hi everyone!
I’ve barely had my tort for about a week now. I have a dual dome lamp, with 60W heat bulb and a 5.0 UVB bulb. I got a thermometer and the temp was 74-76s. So i changed my 60w heat bulb up to 100w PLUS a nano dome with a 40w CHE. And I still cant get the temp into the 80s🥲 I dont know what to do at this point. Im thinking a whole new lamp and upgrade to 150w? I’ve seen so many people with ONE heat bulb and be fine with that. I have two and still not hot enough?
Humidity levels are 75-85 throughout the day. I use forest floor substrate, he has food and water available. Although he has been refusing to eat unless its fruit/veggies. Doesn’t touch lettuce or pellets (he gets twice a week, I spray pellets with water to moisten)
I have this cage from amazon
