Zoo Med desert kit

[Tom]

So I should get this set up and then buy a new tube?

I wouldn't. I'd get something known and trusted. Get the 22 inch HO 10.0 tube with fixture and reflector. Or better yet, get the Arcadia Pro T5 kit. The vendor is a contributing member here and knows is stuff. Lightyourreptiles.com

Call or email Todd. Tell him you are looking for an Arcadia 12% HO tube with fixture and reflector, or a "Pro T5 kit". They might be out of stock, but Todd is a good dude and will help you figure out the best course of action.

Is this the product you are using?
Zoo Med Reptisun T5-Ho Terrarium Hood - 14", Black https://a.co/d/cnSm1wI

I also am finding it difficult to raise the temperature of the enclosure during the night, I am using that same double domes with 2 of these:
Zilla Incandescent Heat Bulb https://a.co/d/a8ayB9m

So, correct me if I'm wrong, You Stated
"Thanks for the links, it really taught me not to trust everything I hear, I really do not think I will be able to use a tube in my set up which is a 3 by 5 concrete mixer, is there any lights that I could possibly use with the attachment that I currently have? One bulb that they also recommended me to get was this:
Zoo Med PowerSun UV UVB (160 watt) https://a.co/d/2oqiBvN
In the description says it is mercury vapor which got me worried if it is appropriate for tortoises"

Is this what you are talking about?


If so, this is why you can't get the temp's up, it is an open top enclosure. As @Tom typically says, it's like heating a house with out a roof.
