Man, I’ve had my tortoise for a year and after joining this forum I feel like I’ve been raising him wrong. So now I’m positing to ask for help on the lighting. I have 3 light bulbs on his tank 2 are on for about 12 hours during the day and then a night bulb comes on to keep him warm at night.
His day bulbs are a coil UVB Repti Glo bulb that’s 26 watts and a zoo med 60 watts sunlight bulb. At night he has the zoo med red night bulb that is 60 watts. His tank usually stays at about 85-90 degrees.
I couldn’t find anywhere on the forum that talked about what kind of bulbs to buy just comments on different post. So any help would be greatly appreciated. My parents were taking care of him for the last 4 months so now I have him back and trying to get everything sorted out.
He is starting to form slight pyramids could having the wrong lights cause this?
Thank you in advance for any help yall can provide. This forum is so helpful I wish I would have found it a year ago when I first got him!
