Okay, thanks. I think i’m going go with this one for now because it’s a bit cheaper and then i’ll see how it works.

Yeah, thanks for your input. I think, for now at least, I am going to go with that bulb and see how it turns out. I hope that it will last awhile before burning out but when it does, I'll re-assess then.

Okay, thanks so much!

I have a hygrometer and the humidity levels are at the right level for his age, which is an adult (Probably about 5 years old, and not growing much anymore)

A russian tortoise.

Okay, my enclosure doesn't have a lid/top so how would I be able to use those kind of uvb strips?

I found this light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CRJXJZ4/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 Is this a good source of uva, uvb and heat for the price and is it all that I would need in terms of lights? @Yvonne G I know you have some experience in MVB

Do you think you could put a link to what bulbs you use? I'm still struggling trying to find one near me. Also, just to be sure, if I got a flood light and a regular LED light that would be plenty?

I actually think I'm going to go with "Forest Floor" because it on sale for $20 and a lot of the reviews say it's good for russians

What do you think about this light @Tom ? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y9FJWPR/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

Okay, what substrate do you suggest?

Alright, thank you so much. I will definitely try that with the food! Do you have any examples of the bride? Iv'e never heard of that.

Hello, I posted a thread yesterday on my enclosure and I am planning on DIY making a 4x6 table. So I have a few questions about specifics. Recommendations (preferably with links) for the best (and cheapest) substrate for russians Also recommendations for the best lighting/heating options. (I...

Okay, thank you. I'm considering getting an outdoor pen but I think he'd only be able to be out there during the summer as it gets very cold during the other seasons here. In your experience did the MVB bulbs run out sooner than others? The basking bulb I'm using right now has been really faulty...

I meant as in where to find the bulbs you were talking about locally. I’m going to order some things tomorrow.

Okay i’ll definitely do more research then. Thank you.

Okay, thanks for the reply. I will keep this in mind, I am just wondering, is there a specific reason you are against mercury vapor bulbs? From what I've read they seem like a good option because they let out UV as well as heat and light.

Just a little update, I am planning on DIY making a 4x6 table out of wood from Lowes sometime soon and I also am planning on getting a new lamp that holds higher wattages as well as a 100w ceramic heat emmiter bulb and a 125w mercury vapor bulb because after reading reveiws that seems to be the...
