Hi everyone i was wondering if my one year old hermann tortoise is getting enough UV. I now this is hard to say without a UV meter but i am gonna go ahead and aks anyway.
He has a 50 watt solar raptor spot Metal halide/ H.I.D lamp that is suspended 22 inches above the enclosure recomended height was 20 inches from whare i bought it and other sites. But i have also seen sites which recomeds keeping it at 12 inches which i think is weird becuse thats the recomended height for 35 watts HID spot lamps.
So i was wondering do you guys think hes getting enough uv from this lamp at this height and is this height okay?
