Alex and the Redfoot
Well-Known Member
I have a redfoot with regular access to sunlight even in the winter, so the only light which is on on a regular basis is the ambient LED (14 hour timer). UVB strip when it's on is on a 6 hour timer (if I switch to a higher output UVB lamp I would set to 4 hours). I might also add a basking lamp (though it's not necessary for redfoots) on 14 hour timer (and reduce LEDs runtime to 12 hour).Sorry, also how long do you have you basking light UVA on and UVB Strip light on
There are hiding spots across the enclosure, so tortoise can choose. Some days she stays for a night under the ferns in a warmer area, some days in colder hides.
