Are the Red bulbs made by Zoo Med good for heating up the enclosure of tortoises at night?How about the Zoo Med ceramic Heat Lamps,are they also good?What is the difference between the Zoo Med Red bulb and the Ceramic heat bulbs?Which among the two of them is better?
Thanks.

If your talking about the infrared heat bulb I've used it and I think it's fine. I like the heat emitters better though. Just preference I think. :) I also like that the heat emitters don't give off and light. :)

There have been concerns that red bulbs at night can damage the tortoise's color vision in some ways. I just prefer to let them have as normal of a night as I can and use the ceramic heaters.
