Tom said:Testudoresearch,
You have also added some significant pieces of the puzzle for me. For example, the info about the drying nature of our indoor heat bulbs. I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was THAT bad. I have done some experiments with providing other heat sources with positive results and I've been in contact with some other people doing the same thing.
Obviously they cannot be housed outdoors year round in a place like New York, for example, so how do you think they ought to be housed when indoors?
In case you missed it above, THANK YOU for sharing your time and experience with us.
These are some points that really struck me, also, especially since I live in NY! I, too, had no idea how drying the lights that are recommended for us are! My tortoises are outside from the end of May through most of September, but what about the rest of the year?
Tom, what alternate light/heat sources have you been experimenting with?
Thank you, from me also, for a fascinating discussion.
