Incandescent are not sold here much either but I do believe the flood bulbs are still available in incandescent, but I might be wrong there. I haven't had to buy any for a few years.We can't get incandescent bulbs in the UK anymore. Arcadia are a good brand and sell flood bulbs. uvb tube kits and ceramic heat emitters. CHEs are great for night heat as they don't give any light and torts need darkness to sleep; also can be used for basking and extra heat when needed, but they should always be run through a thermostat to make sure they don't make your tort overheat.
I use the Arcadia T5 HO uvb tube kit and a flood basking which is just heat and uva.Incandescent are not sold here much either but I do believe the flood bulbs are still available in incandescent, but I might be wrong there. I haven't had to buy any for a few years.
Are the arcadia just flood or are they uvb flood?
I've got one of these aswellDo not listen to vets, most do not have a clue about tortoise care.
I'm no in the UK. But I do believe you can get the correct bulb for basking.
Pictured. It's just a regular incandescent flood bulb that you would buy for your house. Not sold at or in reptile supply stores, but hardware stores, etc.
Yes, the flood bulb use for basking.I've got one of these aswell
Please give this a read at least twice. There is a temperate species care sheet and a heating and lighting breakdown at the bottom. I think this will clear up a lot of confusion rather than 50 posts going back and forth.Hi,
I've taken advice off here and replaced my red heat lamp with a UVB White flood light. I wanted to ask have I done it right. I've got a arcadia UV Strip bulb in there already and now just put in the 50w UVB Floodlight bulb.
Is this right?
Yeah pointing downIs the fluorescent pointing down? It needs to point down. Other than that it's right.
