Hello everyone, I'm a first time Tortoise parent to 4 month old Leo Tortoises.. I've been researching about proper lighting and heat for my enclosure. So far I've learned that the compact bulbs are a no go because of the risk of eye problems in torts. So tube like lighting is what I've decided on 10.00. I need to know Is there some sort of wattage×distant from tortoise chart to follow. I purchased 2 compact bulbs before I learned these are not good, one heat and one uvb but neither had instructions on the correct distance×wattage info to follow. All the research on this particular topic is cluttering my brain and I'm overwhelmed, please help!!
