Hi all,

I’m looking at replacing my UVB for my Hermann’s tortoise. I’ve currently got an Arcadia 10%, 25w bulb.

Is this the best bulb or should I be looking at getting something with more than 10% or more wattage??

Thanks in advance :)

I have read about members using a new light that they refer to as HO. I think its offered by Arcadia.

The HO is the High Output T5 tube.
T5 is Better than T8, I also believe it’s more economical to run but it’s quite a lot more expensive to buy.
I use a 10% T8 Arcadia tube during winter and summer my tort is outside in the sun.

Thank you for that info.
