Hi there,
my tortoise Tarquin lives indoors, in a room in our house that has its own thermostat. He has a basking lamp and night lamp, and we are currently building him a hide to burrow in at night time with the orchid bark substrate. We have recently discovered our old Heat and UV bulb (two in one type thing) wasn’t very good, it wasnt getting hot enough and we don’t think it was producing enough UV. As Tarquin is living in this room and doesn’t have a vivarium or tortoise table, we can’t really hang the tube lights anywhere, and I was just wondering if we can use a bulb of some sort? I heard something about certain bulbs hurting their eyes, if anyone could post some links to bulbs instead of tubes that would be great.
Thank u!
