Hi all
I'm having trouble trying to purchase a uv light for my baby leopard tortoise. I live in South Africa and winter doesn't allow me to take him out for as long as I used to.
I've been to two pet stores. The first said that for a tortoise the only uv light I should buy is a 10.0 UVB tube. The other tried to sell me an 8.0 UVB and said it's the same thing.
Please help I'm not sure if one was just trying to make a sale or can I buy any uvb light and just adjust the distance?
My enclosure is roughly 5ft by 2.5 ft closed top
Thank you
