Hello,
I am a first time tortoise owner and I will be getting my Russian baby in four days from a local breeder. I have been worrying about every little thing because I don't want to be a bad parent. My most recents problems have consisted of lighting and UVB. I was anxious to get my tort table going and rushed a purchase on a professional series solar glo 160w exo-terra bulb. I then bought a light fixture from home depot with a metal or steel reflector. My concerns are whether or not the bulb I got is adequate for my baby tort, and whether or not the $10 fixture will hold up with such a high profile bulb? Thanks all for reading this.
Sincerely,
Vladimir (baby tort's name)
