I need help please. I have been changing what is hanging over my enclosure quite a bit lately because of what I have been reading. I started with two basking lights, one at 95 on one end and the other at 80. The rest of the table is at 70. Plus I had a Repti-sun 10.0 UVB tube. That turned out to be a bad thing because of the way the UVB was emitted. So I changed that to two 10.0 screw ins to make sure I covered most of the table. The enclosure was really dim with that set up. I put back the strip light but with an 8.0 UVB and its hanging about 20" above the table, just for more light. I have also been told that you really only need the UVB on for about 4 hours a day since they hide most of the time anyway. Do I have to much? Am I thinking they need lots of light and they don't? They don't seem to have any issues that I can tell, health wise. Is the 2 10.0 screw ins on all day enough light even though I think its to dim? It makes me wanna turn on a light to check to see how they are doing because its so dim. HELP!

torts4me, here are two sites that explains some of the different lighting methods and bulb types etc.

WOW! those sites for lighting info are awesome! So much information. Thank you so much. I should be able to figure out what is the best for my torts and turtles from that.
