Hi I know yous all must be bored of me by now,but can someone help me with one last bit of info. Someone has recommended the Arcadia uvb flood (attached) and I am wondering does a small viv need to be flooded. Would this be too much for the torts eyes. Is it better to direct the UVA/UVB in to...

Thanks for the replies guys,I have had a bit of luck with the re homing so getting somewhere now. Can any one recommend a decent thermometer/hygrometer that I can get in the U.K. single unit or one that does the two together ?? Kind regards John

Cheers Joesmum Guys Check them pics please,I have divided it for now as I seen more signs of bullying. This is the best I can do for now till so re home one of them. The lights are in the middle so it's shining in to both sides. The little seems better already he has come right out of his shell...

Ok Could I time the moon lamp to come on for an hour or so during the night just to warm it up a little until morn when I switch others lamps on?
