Hey all, thanks for the help the past few weeks; I got my questions answered, but a new one has come up!
It appears my RT, when kept inside (as I have to) enjoys the heat bulb, but when I switch it to a UVB (when I'm away for school for example) he just hides from it. Supposedly they need the UVB for calcium and they also see it and become more active, but if I turn the UVB on and put him anywhere where he can see it, he just hides. ALL DAY. If I don't put him outside or wake him up to eat or something, he will literally spend ALL DAY hiding, ESPECIALLY if the UVB is on.
I've heard it's conceivable certain torts have sensitive eyes to certain UVB bulbs. Is this the case? what's the remedy? Thanks!
