uv light

Hi there, I set up my enclosure months ago for my baby, dialed in the temperatures and set up the UV strip before it arrived two weeks ago. Reading about Ferguson zones for Hermanns (zone 3), I set the UV strip where it reads about 2.3 UVI, which falls within the zone 3 range according to the...

I'm currently in the process of constructing a new table for my red foot tortoise. I'm going to put in a uvb fluorescent tube but I'm having a problem with actual figuring how to fix the tube to the table. I don't want to use a fixed plastic tube holder as they're heavy, limit how long a tube...

Upgrading my current table to a new one, I've been told a uvb fluorescent tube is better than the normal uvb light I have. So my question is, what sort of uvb fluorescent tube should I get (5.0,10.0 and what length)? And what brand (Currently I'm using equipment from Exo Terra, are they good?)...

Hey guys (and gals) I just bought the Arcadia IP64 controller for my uv tube light and it has a grey circular switch on it that flickers red when I turn it on. Only for a few seconds. I have no clue what it does and the instructions dont say anything about it. I've googled the hell out of it...

Hi, just joined because I have so many questions with lighting my tortoise correctly. I used to just have the normal 100 W lights you can get at any pet store from Zoomed. However their bulbs kept breaking on me so I needed a new option. I asked at my local reptile store what can I do...

I am currently using the ZooMed 10.0 T8 18" tube light for my baby Russian tortoise's enclosure. It is about 15" away from him, which is as close as I can get due to the size of the tank. Is that an ok distance or too far? Would a reflector help if it's too far? Thanks!

Hi, I have a Hermann Tortoise that I keep indoors, (I use the UV light in her enclosure) and I was wondering does the uvb light affect us.

How much can tortoises be inside without uv light without dangering their health.I know that they can get mbd or metabolic bone disease but i am not seeing any deformations on their shells.I have 4 Herrmanns they are about 1-2 years old and i am keeping them inside for the winter.And if I need...
