As long as it's not a curly shaped compact fluorescent bulb and as long as it provides heat, it's ok. Afterall, it's only temporary until you get the outdoor yard set up.

Try offering the tortoise some endive and escarole. Any of the dark, leafy greens you can buy at the store. Most of them won't eat grass YOU pick, preferring to pick their own.
that's a pretty nice TEMPORARY box to keep the tortoise in, but not nearly big enough for it to live in.

Welcome.
That Reptisun is one of the coiled bulbs that most of us recommend not using.

Nice looking workshop, BTW.
Tks is their a link for a good oneNice looking workshop, BTW.
Well, you're right, the pet store sold her the wrong light. As long as the tortoise will be going outside soon, you don't need a UVB light. Just put up a regular 100 watt incandescent bulb over her for heat. The other thing is fine, as it provides heat without light and you can keep it on the tortoise at night.
Since mine lives outside all the time (heated shed) he goes out no matter how cold it is. But you want to make sure the tortoise can get back in to be warm.
yes but not the new style 'regular' light
You have done this before
Yup - just a little
Got ya I was going to put her out a just let her Rome for an hour or so hoping she will eat something
As long as the sun is shining, that should be ok. Do you have a sheltered area with full sun?
