yes sunlight is way better than any uvb bulb, but UV doesn't go through glass or plastic.Im just wondering...... Can pure sunlight be a replacement for another uvb bulb? there is a huge window in my house that receives a lot of sunlight.
would a reptisun 5.0 uvb be a good bulb?
Its a tortoise house, but im closing off a big part of it, and the lights would be about 7-8 in. (based on my approxamation -dont know if i spelled that right- of how high the tortoise table hood is.) If it is needed closer for maximum uvb absorbtion i bet i can make some changes to make it lower. i just changed him into repti bark. hes not eating, but others in the forum say it's normal during a transition or change in the environment.
yea its the zoomed one, and by enclosed, i close the sleeping quarters (got him a log instead), and put a little box in which he spends most of his time. By open top, i meant without any covers, but any good closed tops you recommend? I'll probably use one of these closed top ideas w/ tinfoil or something, but i want to make sure im raising him right. I raised my basking to 95-100, cool, cold area now low 80's, night (cold spot around low-mid seventies, and high (under the nightlight red) around mid to high 80's. Its fine about your urgency, i care about these little tortoises as much as you do. i feel you.
