Simple video to help those with little ones.
Now you know why there's so many confused newbies out there.I disagree with a lot of it. In fact, almost all of it. Most of us have learned what is best for all baby tortoises from Tom, and found out that his advice, and also advice from other experienced owners here, is what works.
Yeah, I agree. When a newbie sees the ExoTerra Intense Basking spot in the video, they might think all bulbs with the same buzz words on the packaging are fine.Perhaps, my main complaint would be is that too much is "left to the reader". A lot of details is omitted (probably, they are all outlined in the care sheet on Hermanni Haven, but it wasn't mentioned in the video).
1. Spot bulb - ExoTerra Intense Basking Spot from the video is not very intense and not very 'spot'. So, I guess, at the proper distance it can be used with smaller tortoises. But other spotlights (e.g. from ZooMed) have different characteristics.
