    Can you get the flood bulbs in a standard E27 fitting? If so do you have a link to something similar in the UK? Bulbs always confuse me. I cant raise one on my bulbs any higher than it is right now which is why i chose not to use it at all. Once again it looks like i was sold the wrong stuff...

    @wellington Going back to the dish, i wasnt saying its 10mm deep so im not changing it i just didnt know if it looked deeper from the image. Maybe it the size of the dish thats the issue? I didnt mean to sound like i was disregarding your knowledge.

    I also feel the same. Ive been keeping, rehoming and looking after reptiles for over 20 years and ive seen alot of it.

    You could also go for a longer L shape (further in to the sun) and just make it removable so when its not in use it can be out of the way. The only issue i see with it is going to be ambient air temp. Im not too geared up on torts atm but im a keeper of snakes and know a reasonable amount about...

This is just a general post to discuss if there is any 100% no no's im doing after rescuing these baby Horsefields. I will start by stating Mikey & Bowser...
