Hi Just wanted some Advise to make sure my Red Foots enclosure is set up right especially with lighting? Here I put two kiddie swimming Pools together and joined them as you see the tortoises can enter through a hole I cut out and then framed which they will Pass through and it will Look and be natural to them! and go from Pool to Pool! then there's two big heating Pads 3x2' Long on under each side of each Pool for Ground heat! Sub straight is peat moss covered on top with cypress mulch to hold humidity with leaves thrown in for decoration! there's one night time heat lamp 100 watts that always runs never goes off! and one Day time Bulb that I use runs 6 hours a day on timer Both Bulbs putting out heat! "Now here's my Question that I am asking? the UVB 10.0 that is shown in one of the pictures is this a safe Bulb for my tortoises or will it hurt my tortoises eye? do I need to get Rid of it (that Bulb)? also one thing I should mention as you can see there set up is near a window and they do get the morning Sun for at least 3-4 hours a day but through closed windows of course because it is cold out side! that's mainly their inside set up any Advise would be much appreciated on improvement!! thank you, Anthony.
