I haven’t seen incandescent bulbs here for years

Thank you, but they’re only compatible with dimmable bulbs

Humidity currently 99% but haven’t got the bulbs on at the moment and not long added the coco coir which was mixed with warm water so that’s obviously added to it a lot. It was like a sauna adding it in!

I haven’t checked humidity yet, basking bulb temperature was first on my checklist! Overall substrate is 4inches but I’ve kept it flatter that end and it’s still only 20cm from the bulb. Height from floor to ceiling before substrate was 41.5cm

I can’t find any 25w floodlight bulbs, only spot bulbs

The basking bulb spot is too hot :( I tried switching to a 50w bulb and it's still 42 degrees celcius. I physically can't get the bulb any higher in the viv. What do I do?

Amazing, thank you so much. Off I go to drill holes!

Also, I feel like I must be stupid… but for the life of me I can’t work out how to get these brackets on the Arcadia bulb holder. I’ve pushed so hard to get them to click on that I’ve scratched the metal, but they won’t go on!

The new plug in LED lamp and coffee cup hooks have arrived, as has my first ever drill! What's the best layout for the lighting in a 4ft by 1.5ft vivarium please? (yes I'll be increasing the size once the hatchling grows bigger) I'm thinking LED and UVB together across the centre? Should...

I don’t really have family around, or many people at all actually, so usually have to do what I can myself or pay people to help. So it’s much easier for me to return and buy another one that’s ready to go 😊

Amazing thank you, will get that and the hooks ordered! Yeah will definitely all be worth it in the end 😊

Does this look like the right one, ready to plug in and go? https://amzn.eu/d/fqMM9Bx

Thank you! Will definitely be returning the light and finding a different one then. Just gutted that it’s been obstacle after obstacle, my daughter has been so patient bless her but she’s desperate to meet her new best friend 🥲 The local pet store has sold out of Horsfields now too so I need to...

Hi all, the viv and all the accessories are finally here/tested (had a few faults with the glass runners and lamps so has taken a while). Have a couple of questions re lighting; Are these the coffee cup hooks you meant? And what am I supposed to do with this LED light? I thought it was an all...

Hi all. We’re supposed to be collecting our little shelled warrior from a local pet store who, as far as pet stores go, have a good reputation. However, we’d really like to buy from a private breeder who is following the Tortoise Forum way (the correct way of course 😊). Can any UK members in...

Great thank you

I couldn’t find the recommended humidity in that care sheet and had re read the humidity section a few times, but have just found it in another part I think, 55-80?

Everything is ordered! Well, all except the terracotta saucers as I wasn’t sure what size to get. What size would be best?
