I have read alot of conflicting information on lighting and heating for an indoor tortoise. I am planning on getting a 3inch long juvenile hermanns tortoise. I have a cement mixing tub which is 3 feet by 2 feet. I went to the pet store today to look at lighting and I am overwhelmed by the many options. I have read that powersun mvb is pretty good. I just bought 2 10 inch Flukers ceramic lighting fixtures. They can handle up to 250 W each. How many watts should I buy for 1 tortoise in such an enclosure with an open top. My apartment's average temperature during this time is in the 70's. Also should I buy a ceramic heat bulb for night? Thanks for your help! This is complicated to me!
