got him from a small shop that has been around for 30 years.

Thanks. Is a 34" Retisun 10.o Bulb too much. I have a 36" T5 HO fixture from my aquarium I can use. I will just take the glass off and only use one bulb in it (it takes 2). Here is a pick of how it fits. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7r0kwktm1i81liz/2014-11-02%2013.45.47.jpg?dl=0 We plan on...

Instead of two seperate bulbs, one for heat and one for UVB, can I use the 100W Zoomed Powersun? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002AQDJK/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 Right now for heat I have a 100W Exo Terra Sun-Glo Basking Infrared Spot Lamp. I remove the screen cover and this is the habitat...

We went back and returned the compact bulb and fixture. Anyone have one to recommend? She said to go with a zoomed 10.0 in a regular fluorescent fixture. They also said I can do without the screen, I just need to hang the lights somehow. Also, I asked about CB and WC. She said they have a...

All, thank you or your comments. We are learning quickly. I am going to return the compact UVB and get a long. I measure the shell as 3" long x 2.5". I may be hard to see in the picture. I still have some other questions that hopefully someone can help out on. 1. So at 3" L x 2.5" W how old...

dmmj, i measured the shell from front to back as 3". when you say 4" do you account for more than just the shell?

ok. At the petstore they said not to so they do not soak in it so that is why we stayed a little smaller. But then again, some of their info has not been great either.

ok. What diameter is recommended?

Are these good shots? https://www.dropbox.com/s/v3dkqulqft5jl8s/2014-11-01 16.21.23.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/tja1vsx9r5cfumc/2014-11-01%2016.20.56.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/dll7sw0hlj28x18/2014-11-01%2016.21.30.jpg?dl=0

Temp under the light is 93. I put it back to check. Must of had a bad reading before.

thanks again. So at 3" L x 2.5" W how old do you think he is? At what age are they considered adults? Is there anything we should look at being WC over CB (we did not think to ask of they knew)? Would we be better off getting a smaller one that they noted as hatchings? Last question, when I...

thanks. What is WC? I just searched and saw something about WC and CB but could not find what those are. Wild Caught?

Thank you. I went ahead and checked the temp under the light on the substrate and it is 99 degrees. He started to go to the sensor so I moved it out. Not sure if it is much hotter there. I measured him and the shell is around 3" long and 2.5" wide. They did have smaller ones they were...

Hi. We just got my 12 year old son a Russian Tortoise for his B-Day. The pet store said is around a year old. This is our first tortoise. We had an iguana that liver for around 14 years that died several years ago so I understand the challenges of reptiles. We also have salt water fish...
