I'm a little confused on the use of Basking bulbs. I know that UV bulbs can actually damage a tortoise's eyes, so wouldn't a basking bulb do the same things? Would someone please explain this to me, I'm just having a difficult time wrapping my head around it.
Also do tortoises need both a CHE bulb and a basking bulb? What's the purpose of basking in an enclosure that's the optimum temperature?
I've seen the user Tom say that you can probably due without UV strips for the most part if you're able to take your pet to bask in the sun. And apart from inclimate weather or the winter season might not have a need for UV strips.
