I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the enclosure section, but I was wondering about the UV index required for box turtles. I use a UVB meter to gauge the correct distance I need to raise or lower my UVB tubes, so what index do box turtles prefer their range? I would imagine it will be lower than my bearded dragons, so I plan on using my Reptisun 5.0 HO T5 bulb on a Sunblaster fixture, but I think I will be removing the reflectors to decrease the output a bit.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions on good reading for box turtles would be much appreciated.
