    Rehomed tortoise with existing equipment, looking to upgrade to seperate UV and basking light.

    Hey, thanks for the reply. The fixture has been using a UVB basking bulb for about 2 weeks now, so I don’t think the fixture is the issue. It says on the bulb specs that it holds a maximum of 26W for fluorescent bulbs, could that be the issue?

    Hi, I have recently rehomed a tortoise from a family member and have been buying some equipment to upgrade the enclosure that he came with and was looking for some guidance on certain things.

    Hermanns tort enclosure, is this appropriate?

    Hi, Thanks for the advice. I looked through the thread they linked, and am planning on picking up an Arcadia 75w solar basking floodlight, a mini white python led kit, an Arcadia pro T5 UVB kit and a more suitable hiding cave to get a humid hide going. Does this sound good for now in your opinion?

    Hi, I believe the lamp is an arcadia 2nd generation UVB light. As for the wattage, I'm not sure but would guess 100

    Hermanns tort enclosure, is this appropriate?

    Hi, unsure what light it is sorry, but it is a heat lamp and the temp in the enclosure is good. The only thing I know about it is that it was bought in a pet shop.

    Hi, the enclosure is 30x16 inches at the moment, as for the light I'm not sure which specifically as the enclosure came alongside the tortoise, though I can ask.

    Hermanns tort enclosure, is this appropriate?

    Hi everyone, I'm new here as I just picked up a Hermanns from my cousin today as they cannot care for it anymore, and I was just wondering if this is a suitable vivarium for him? He is currently 1 year old and around 4 inches long. Can anyone give feedback on changes I should make, if any...
