Hi!
Regarding Repti Glo 5.0 and 10.0 (the tube type, not the coil!), which one is better for a young leopard tortoise that is kept indoor through the winter/spring? Currently I have two Repti Glo 5.0, 15W, hanging 35 cm above the substrate level, on long side of the table, that I need to replace soon. My tortoise table is 120x80x50, covered partially with wood and partially with plexi glass. MVB is currently not an option for me but I'm familiar with their advantages. Should I upgrade to 10.0? Can I use only one? Should I upgrade to the higher Watt bulbs? Is it enough to avoid MBD?
Thanks in advance for any input.
