Hello
Somehow I came across a blog post saying that UVB lamp isn't so effective (checking the uvb meter).
I know it's not the most reliable source, but I still gave it a thought.
Would an open window (with screening) work? I heard that screens do block uvb but not so much. I will definitely take the tortoise outside for some direct sunlight during the summer, but I mean for the winter. And will a ceramic heating emitter(s) or a spot lamp(s) keep the temperature if I do this? (I am living in Korea and I am planning on getting a marginated tortoise, so I cannot not do the heating.)
Anyways, suggestions on good uva/uvb lamps if you believe this is not going to work? Multiple will be very helpful because I might not be able to find the one you are talking about here.
Thank you all !
