Hi everyone,
I have had my two hermanns for nearly two weeks now. My question in the uva/uvb light and heat.
1, how long should it take to reach the optimum temp? I aim between 28-30 as advised. It gets there but seems to take ages. Ive lowered it on occasions but then the basking spot gets too hot eventually.
How far away from the tortoise should it be? I Seen some that seem really close and mine isnt. Would they be not the combi ones?
The temp gage i have is the komodo digital with the probe at the end of the wire.
Can anyone help me out, i want them to grow properly.
Thanks
