Hi! My husband and I adopted an approx. 5 yr female Russian Tortoise, Pepita, two months ago. We have been trying to put together her habitat (had her in temporary housing) and are just now getting it assembled. We have her in a Zoo med tortoise house with 100% cypress for substrate. We've been given one Repti Glo 10.0 UVB bulb and one unlabeled blue reptile bulb (we're thinking it's a daytime bulb?). In addition to getting a nighttime bulb, will she need another bulb for heat? How do we figure out the proper distance of the bulbs away from her home? Honestly, figuring out the bulbs has been the most stressful and complicated - reptiles are new to us. When I go to read about them and all the suggestions for different kinds, I end up feeling overwhelmed. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
We live in Seattle, if that helps for climate info ;-)
Thank you!
