Have you checked the temperatures? Under the lamp, warm end, cool end, overnight minimum.

Check regularly so you notice any loss of performance in the bulb :)

She looks great. I would try to get a pen setup outside for her if you can. I also would advise on not getting a male russian tortoise unless you keep them separate or if you keep them outside and have at least 3 females to 1 male.

I'm working on building an outside pen I'm going to use my birthday money (October 17) when my birthday comes to build the outside enclosure. And if I got a male they would be kept separate ;)

Just FYI there is no real reason for keeping them together, lots of people do it. I prefer to keep them separate and then introduce them for a brief period of time for breeding purposes.
