I have been using a Zilla strip light fixture (http://www.petco.com/product/115855/Zilla-Desert-UV-T8-Terrarium-Strip-Light-Fixture.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch) and I'm not sure it's giving my tortoise enough UV. It has some type of clear plastic-ish cover over the light. I heard once that windows...

trying to climb on the walls is what flips him over--even when there isn't a corner. that makes it hard to just take it out....
