Thanks for the info! Glad I asked before I bought my tortoise. What brand of bulbs and dome fixture would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

There is a heating and lighting breakdown at the bottom, and care sheets for both tropical and temperate species that explains all the heating and lighting even further.

Great thanks! I read the article and it said to use these three items is that correct?

The CHE and HO tube are correct, but the cfl is not.

1. Basking bulb for heat and light.
2. HO UV tube for light and UV.
3. LED strips or bulbs for ambient light.
4. CHE on a thermostat for additional heat when needed.

What’s cfl?

Do I really need the Uv tube? Can I just use the Reptisun bulb and another uva and not the tube?

A picture would help with what lights and heating I need if you can.
