Hey everyone,
my 2nd post unfortunately im a new soon to be tortoise owner... so i am still in the "got questions" mode instead of the happy stories / Helpful tips mode.. but i promise to contribute for months to come
I just finished building my custom tortoise table,
Picked up a heat lamp for the basking area etc..
I have 2x 5.0 UVB Flourecents that will sit 12" above the soil/sand substrate. Is this enough UVB light for my young one when he arrives ?
I read 12" is the appropriate range for a 5.0 , and 18" is appropriate for a 10.0 ub bulb.
Would I be better going with 1x 5.0 and 1x 10.0 ? or am I good with the 2x 5.0 uvb bulbs
Bulbs are 24" bulbs, and total length of the enclosure is 50" wide so they cover the whole length of the enclosure.
