CHECK THOSE INSIDE TEMPS AS SUMMER COMES

[wellington]

Just a reminder. Your torts inside enclosure will be getting hotter with the outside temps warming up and warming your house. Be sure to check those temps, you may be turning some of the fixtures off. Also, don't forget to do the same in the fall, as temps get colder. Some of those fixtures will have to be turned back on.

Agreed!
I already switched out my 2 bulbs for the lower wattage

Great advice, Barb, and also a reminder to track enclosure temps through the seasons.

I actually switched two of my bulbs today to 1/2 the wattage! I keep my torts in a screened in back patio so the weather helps keep my temps up most of the time.

I actually had the opposite problem, because of the ac. Had to add a second bulb.

Yep, sometimes that happens too. But, if its that warm inside, your tort should be spending a lot of time outside

I only put him out supervised, we have some serious predators here, and I'm paranoid.

I understand. Better safe then sorry
