Hello all!
I have a coil UVB light for my new tortoise, Francis. I am new to tortoise-keeping, so if this is a dumb question excuse my ignorance
I know indoor tortoises need UV light, but I looked at the light today and just realized how bright it is! I have used tanning salons before (I quit bc it's so bad for you though) and Francis' lights are even brighter!
Do tortoises have "stronger" eyes than us? I just looked at it for a second and it made me see color spots. Now I worry for Francis bc he is just a wee creature...
I have observed him looking up and directly into the light, too. He can still see when I let him walk around though...so no damage yet.
Alright, that's it. I feel like a new mom, so paranoid about everything...
