Such beauties!!!!!!
But I notice you are using coil bulbs. It is my understanding that the intensity of the light from coil bulbs can irritate tortoises eyes and are not generally recommended. Having said that, your babies look happy and healthy. But i just wanted to mention that because I know your animals mean so much to you. :)

The sulcatas have two heating bulbs, an UVB bulb and a special daylight bulb for reptiles ( Full daylight spectrum )
The redfoots have one heating bulb, an UVB bulb and a special daylight bulb for reptiles ( Full daylight spectrum )

I think the heating bulbs are the coil bulbs ? But I need them for the warmth. What should I use instead ?
My sulcatas love it laying under the heating bulbs. They sleep and rest there. I never regognized that they don`t like the light. And their eyes are clear and healthy.
I am confused.

If you post pictures of your bulbs @Bee62 we can identify them for you.

The coil bulbs are definitely not heat bulbs. Their wattage is too low.
