Morning all,
I'm getting my lil hermann in two weeks time and need to run through some things with you lovely tort owners
Have I got the right equipment?? Here's what I have:
Ceramic lamp holder on bracket - 60w spotlight (is basking ok at 40 degrees Celsius?)
Uv tube lamp with 18w 10.0 uv tube
Tort safe grass n weed mix growing
The table is currently being built it has a roofed area one end and open space with lamps on the other end
Decor for table
Shallow water dish
Basking slab
Calcium powder for food
Cuttlefish bones
Coconut substrate, hemp substrate and grass pellets
Thermometer on outside and one under spotlight area.
And last but not least, lots of luurrrve
is there anything else I need and are the bulbs right? I don't want to give too
little or too much!
Also the UV tube is very bright is there a safe and effective way to shield it abit?
Was thinking along the lines of fixing a thin strip of wood along the edge as if it were a roof and attach tube along the underside of it???
Thanks for any help or advice
