I have a question about basking. I have a 150 watt light for basking and I was wondering if I could put a rock under the basking light so the heat doesn't heat the substrate. Would it be good for the tortoise to get on a nice warm rock or would the heat of the 150 watt lightbulb heat up the rock and then burn the tortoise? The light would be like 8-12 inches above the rock, just to let you know. To give you an idea of the rock and how I want it. look at this guys youtube video, and look at the basking spot on the far right. Thanks guys!
