    Sulcata lighting

    does my sulcata need a uv/heat bulb on if he’s getting out and about in the sun outside during the day? What kind of light is recommended for night time?I assume he needs daytime and nighttime to be different. Can he get too much uv if he’s been outside then under the lamp inside?

    possibly sick Herman

    She is mainly indoors but when its a nice day she goes outside on the grass in the sun. She's moving around but not opening her eyes. We have been bathing her everyday. What things can we do to help with humidity? What are the best day and night temps?

    possibly sick Herman

    She is moving around but still doesn't open her eyes. Can we spray her with water to help with humidity? Or will that not be good because of the heat of the lamp? Tryin to get her to the vet on Monday but got to see if the reptile vet is in. What is the best temp?
